When fully upright, could the chair be used comfortably in front of a desk/computer?

not as well as a standard secretary chair. The back is not quite as straight up and it is 20% bigger than a standard typing chair. It is, however a good buy for the money and makes a great recliner. Hope that helps.

No, it's too low. Great to sit in for reading or knitting or TV. Not an office item.

No you can't but it doesn't get in the way. And plus you need it to readjust the desk. You may find yourself wanting to sit now and then.

The keyboard is a bit over four feet long, so as long as the desk is of a similar width and reasonably sturdy, it should be stable.

You can sit in an upright position, but because of the chair's shape you might not find an upright position comfortable after awhile unless you personally have no problem sitting like that for extended periods of time. I mainly use it for reading outside on my patio or just pure relaxation when the weather is nice. I hope my answer helped out a little bit.

You must remain upright. The chair even came with a warning not to lean back in it.

yes. I brought it for my son. So he uses it all the time for sitting on the couch. He does change the height for standing, but not often. If you are a jack rabbit, like me, I am always up and down, it might get tiresome. But if you leave standing to should work fine. The price is good. PS I have a rolling, adjustable standing/sitting desk with a hydralyic level, but is was $300.00. It was worth it because I was developing hip/back problems and I use the computer constantly for work.

No. This is a light folding chair. Leaning on it to stand up is a bad idea.

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.

Yes, you can. That's how I use it. Use a straight backed chair and go to work!

I am tall so having the keyboard practically in my lap has never been comfortable. We didn't install the keyboard or the shelf; making this table even more useful and attractive. You can pull your office chair right up to it and still have plenty of room.

I am 5'5" and find this chair comfortable; however, I would not recommend this chair in an office work setting. The chair's neutral position is in a reclining position. You cannot adjust the chair to sit up straight. There is plenty of seat room for average size person. The back part of the chair ends about shoulder height on me, so I cannot rest my neck/head against it. The construction is sturdy, but I did have difficulty with a couple of screws.

I use my laptop in this chair, and it is very comfortable for this work as the arms are low enough to provide support but not high enough to put extra stress on my wrists. I think it would not be very practical to use at a table or desk. It would be difficult to adjust distance from the working surface and get in and out of once you establish a comfortable position from the table.The top of the chair arms measures 21 inches from the floor so it could comfortable slide under most tables.

I don't think it would be as stable. However, the legs are adjustable in height. I have it on the lowest setting and it's already higher than an average desk chair. The adjustments could take it up by another 4 inches, so would probably work fine.

Not well. Even a lap top which would fit, it would be uncomfortable to work from because of the legs.

I don't think it's a matter of sitting or standing. Think of it as a mini-desk on top of your full-size desk. Even in a fully collapsed position, you won't be able to sit down and use it. I take mine completely down off my desk or push it all the way forward and then put my monitor, keyboard and mouse back down on my full desk. I usually do that routine twice a day. The whole process takes me two minutes. Make sure you buy a anti-stress pad for your feet and legs too.

I flipped the hinge on mine so that it would not rock backward at all. Very comfortable computer chair but the catch is that your computer desk must be extremely low. I was using an adjustable shelf system (like the kind used in those expensive closet organizer systems from elfa) as a desk surface so I was able to bring my desk down to accomodate. Without the adjustable height desk this chair would NOT otherwise work for PC gaming.

It's a great chair but I don't think it would be good for a computer chair. It sits too low and leans too far back to be comfortable. I love the chair though. Hope this helps.
