Could this be used on top of a desk to create a portable standing desk? I'm looking for a platform for my laptop that will allow me to stand and type

It certainly can be used on top of a desk. It's actually more sturdy on a harder surface rather than a softer like a bed or couch.

hi, maybe, i'm not sure...i found a very small table top, put a few big books under it, and it's fine....just find the height that you feel comfy and go from there...i use the pictured item in my armchair sometimes, for reading as well...good luck !

Depends on height of your desk to where it's comfortable to type standing for you! Very sturdy item!

It should work quite well for that purpose. The only thing you may need to do, is purchase some small adhesive rubber feet or pads, to attach to the underside of the stand legs. That would ensure it wouldn't slide or slip on top of the desk.

No, I don't think so .... it's made for a Laptop ... I use it only for my Keyboard and Mouse to stand occasionally ... 10 pounds would be too much in my opinion

No. This is designed to be used as a laptop stand on a computer table top. It is useful when you want to connect your laptop to an external monitor and use external mouse and keyboard. It keeps the laptop screen level with the external monitor so you can use dual screen.

I would have to say no. I utilize it to keep my laptop on top up to a size 17" and it sits well. I do use a keyboard but it does not fit under it.

Oh definately that is what I actually use it for. Just don't think that it will act like an actual desk the laptop and an organizer cup will fit and hold well, but not much else. There is enough space underneth for a small printer. Hope this helps.

Yes, Stephanie! It totally could be used as a standing work station. It's adjustable and sturdy; the pamphlet inside the box tell you what degrees to adjust each leg to so that you can use it as a standing desk.

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

if your laptop has a squared off corner in the front on the bottom, then it may be fine. If it is rounded (like an I pad or a note book) then it may be an issue. I added a kleat (a straight piece of quarter round wood) to mine just because I am handy that way. But I would suggest that you just purchase a piece of rubberized drawer liner that can be found at Wal-Mart, Shopko, Target, Jo-Ann fabrics, Or Michaels arts/crafts, Hobby Lobby and/or Ace Hardware. That should then accommodate any portable device on your new table,...and you don't have to be a carpenter like me. Hope this helps. P.S. this was the only table we found that is easy to put together and to operate. Especially if you only have use of one hand like my Dad does.

Yea, that should work, but you want to make sure the thing will clamp to the edge of your desk. There needs to be a lip or an edge that it can grab on to. I was honestly a little disappointed about how small it was. But it is still sweet.

I put my laptop on top of it and use it like that at home all the time. It works perfectly for me. But I don't know if it would be different if you had an actual keyboard.

Yes, but be aware there is nothing holding your laptop on the stand. Your laptop just sits on the stand's platform held on by friction. The more you extend the stand, the more easy it becomes to turn the stand over if it is accidentally bumped.

It is not really big enough to use as a standing desk. It really does just fit the lap top...

I am actually using it as a standing desk with my computer on my sitting desk level. That said, I think if you either mounted the screen(a) the way they show it in the picture or have it against a wall so you can push your monitor (or iMAC) back as far as you can, it works just fine. I love mine!

When placed on a desk with the legs deployed in a 'Z' configuration it is quite solid unless one would lean heavily on it. I'm 5'4" and I could easily type on the laptop standing up by the desk. The stand could be raised quite a few inches higher for someone taller and still remain fairly solid. I've uploaded a photo showing my installation over my Logitech Momo sim racing wheel.

You could theoretically but it would not be great. Better to do that with an iPad. This stand is the worst I have bought. Basically drum hardware on a ridiculous base. Should have been a round flat base not 3 foot poles. It's a major design fail. I ended up just putting mine outside on my terrace to hold my laptop when using a projector outside.

Yes, it would work great as a computer desk! Just make sure you have a very low chair, as the desk is not as high as it looks in the picture. I use it for doing work on my laptop.

the table top music stand that was sent to me was Not well made . Not well assembled...you should be able to use it on your keyboard. personally, i would use a music stand that is fitted to a keyboard stand or a free standing/stand alone, heavy duty music stand...
