I dont think this is what you're looking for. its not stable enough, and the angle is not what I would prefer to type on. just MO.

Yes, you can place the stand in its lowest position and use it as a keyboard platform, but you'll probably find that you want to remove the page holders--all you need is a screwdriver. The lip will be in the down position for your application, and the page holders will keep the keyboard from sitting flush against the lip;in addition the page holders are somewhat 'springy.' I sometimes use my Freesia as a laptop stand.

Hello. Just realized I had not responded to you. I think you could use it as a keyboard stand. The height is adjustable. There is a lip on one end that can find up or out not sure if that would be bothersome? Hope that helps. P.S. I love the stand to hold my books and papers

The depth of your desktop really determines the length of the track you should choose. If the track length is too long it'll stick out past the front edge of the desk you won't be able to push the keyboard tray back under the desk to hide it. Hope this makes sense.

The keyboard didn't fit the stand that came with it. You can set the keyboard on the stand but it doesn't attach "fit" to attach it. In our case this wasn't a problem because we weren't going to be using the keyboard in any way that would cause it to slip, but it does slip off if you're not careful. Best to use a table, or once you receive the keyboard bring it to a store and get a stand that fits. Hope this helps!

Ergonomically, It is not a standing height table. I use it at maximum extension while sitting. Standing, You would be looking down and your arms would be down to type. It is not designed for standing. However, you can use it standing I'm 5'9 and do not have to bend over to reach the keyboard. Again, not likely good for working long periods.

If the desk doesn't have any large trim overhang, it should be fine. You can adjust the shelf to hang almost 4" from the bottom of the desk.Be sure that your keyboard height will be able to slide out with the tray.

I think it would be a pretty tight fit on the height. The height is only 24 inches from the keyboard shelf to the floor and I don't think it can be adjusted. Do you have carpet? If you have a heavy shag on your carpet, I don't think it would work. If you don't have any carpet, you should be ok but not a lot of room to play with. If you don't attach the keyboard shelf, you'll be fine. Hope this helps

I find the entire desk to be very wobbly. You need to be extremely careful when moving the desk around. The keyboard tray is of no use to me as far as typing on my keyboard. I have to use the glass top as the keyboard tray does not stay open. I would not recommend this desk.

Height wise...yes. Lenthwise, probably not unless you have one of those tablet type keyboards. I measured it side to side usable underneath space available and only came up with 15". My keyboard is a little less than 18" inches lengthwise, and it will not fit under. I guess they wanted to make sure it would fit on any computer desk. I have seen some that would allow you to do this, but they are a lot bigger overall.

I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much). However, when you extend it to it's maximum height, not only is it not quite high enough to use as a standing desk (and I am short!), but it also gets pretty wobbly. Right now, I have mine set at about 3 ft. and that is perfiect for sitting on the side of my bed and using my laptop. ( We have a somewhat tall bed, FYI.) I esitmate one could raise it another 8 inches or so since there are 2 more holes left on the metal post, but as I said, it gets pretty wobbly when fully extended. I do like it very much, though.

I measured the keyboard platform at a little under 19" wide. You might be able to leave off the end caps and make it fit leaving off the mouse platform. Seems risky. This thing is pretty flimsy: a couple of years after installation the platform has warped and the keyboard is not stable. I would not buy it again but it is not so bad I will replace it before it finally breaks.

The space between the tray and the desk it is mounted to is fairly limited, so if you have a raised ergonomic keyboard it may not be able to slide under the desk.

No... It fix mounts under the desk. I had flipped it over to extend out the front, but it's so low to the legs, that sitting that far out from the desk made it an obstacle so I put it back on per instructions. I used an iMac on it so the keyboard worked out for me on the desk surface, but have since purchased the desk I originally wanted, so I use this primarily as a laptop desk in another room. Honestly, it's a cheap "get something now" desk that served its purpose. But I was happy to get my setup on my new desk. Hope that helps.

I really don't know. It depends on whether you are long or short waisted. The top of the keyboard tray...where it sits, is about 40 inches off the ground on mine and I have the wheels on. . The top of the unit is about 45" from the ground. So hopefully you could tell from those measurements? Ideally I would like the keyboard tray an inch or so shorter and I am 5' 6". The wheels add 2 1/2 inches so you can make adjustments there too. It can sit without them.

Curtis, that is correct. The keyboard tray easily slides under the desk. It's also height adjustable and swivels to either side. Sorry to sound like an advertisement but I really like mine. Well made and easy to use. The set-up directions could be a bit clearer but to be fair I didn't find it to be difficult to figure out.

This keyboard does not take up that much room. I switch mine out once a week and simply store it on a shelf while someone else puts theirs into the tower and uses my desktop with their keyboard. It can be fully flattened to place somewhere, but folding it in half might not be good for it...I don't know. I've never tried it.

I don't have any way to secure mine but your keyboard might be different. Mine just sits on top of the stand. It feels really solid to me and has holes in the top where you could bolt it down (if your keyboard has that capability).

Yes, with one comment regarding the keyboard. Right now, I use this table for my printer and office supplies with the portable computer on an adjustable height stand. The one comment I have is that if you are going to use this table for the keyboard, you're going to need to watch your arm and wrist position (ergonomic issue). For me, the table would be a little high (I'm 5'3") with a normal chair. But with an adjustable chair, you should be able to ok. You might need something to rest your feet on if you have to bring the chair up enough to keep your arms and wrist level with the keyboard. Yes, with one comment regarding the keyboard.
