Does the keyboard tray have to tilt or is there a flat option?

Yes, when the doors are open parallel to the sides, the keyboard will slide in and out. The track for the shelf that the keyboard sits on is on the interior sides of the unit, so as long as the doors can open straight out or slightly greater than 90 degrees from their starting point, the keyboard tray will slide all the way out.

Yes, there's no need to install the keyboard tray if you don't want to as it doesn't provide any structural support.

Somewhat. Flip the keyboard over, on the upper corners there are tabs, one tab on each side. When extended the tab will give you a slight angle. Try it for a while a see which you prefer.

Hi no the 'keyboard tray' is actually a shelf. Not good for typing. Desk is great though, solid, well made

That wont be necessary, once you have accomplished the appropriate angles to create a sturdy stance nothing is going to fall.I stand all day but on occasion I sit. I simple bring my keyboard down to my desk and move my monitor to the keyboard tray which is perfect eye level for me I am 5'7.

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.

The 'desk' area is a soft surface. It is at such an angle, that I have some difficulty keeping my pc on it. Wish the lip was a little higher. As I like using a mouse rather than the keyboard, I just 'read' on it.

No, you can lay it flat on top of the keyboard but then you'll be pressing against the keys.

If you cannot find a keyboard tray thin enough, try a laptop pillow which has a flat tray on a pillow that would wedge in there on a tilt position. Measure your entry area first - laptop trays are different sizes (width and height) and some have a little tray depth, or a pencil holder that MIGHT grip the keyboard feet (useful for tipping a keyboard). - Old Geek response

Sorry, no. It tilts from the center arm so the keyboard can be positioned in height and be parallel or tipped high or low in front. I have a stand up desk so I line the keyboard high to the front so my hand is in a natural position, wrists straight, fingers down. My desk opening is 25" and there is very little clearance... Not 2"

The top surface of the tray where the keyboard sits goes from about 4 1/4 inches below the underside of my desk to about 1 1/8 inches above it. So, there's roughly 5 3/8 inches of adjustment.

Yes. Once the desk is assembled, the keyboard tray will stop and will not come out.

It does not go all the back. It tilts almost flush to flat with keyboard, but does not fold back to the keyboard.

Nope. Lower keyboard platform is a fixed distance from the upper monitor platform.

I am very confused about the answers to this question. It can definitely be either be tilted or flat. There are two small locks on the underside of the table that allow you to tilt at any angle, or keep flat. They lock after you determine your the best situation for you. I had an issue when I first assembled, had my laptop on the table, but hadn't locked the two levers, causing the weight of my computer to tilt the table and the computer to fall. That is how I discovered the two locking levers.

I keep the keyboard on the desk top so I can't speak for ease of use. However, if it helps, the keyboard tray is designed as a drawer. It has a front that flips up and snaps into place (I use it as a drawer). If you put the keyboard in it, it slides out easy enough and the front snaps down very easily. The hinges are plastic so I don't know how they'd stand up to repeated opening and snapping closed over time. I've used a desk with a slide out keyboard tray, and this seems like it would work just as easily as long as you kept the front flap unhinged so it laid flat.
