Candace be mounted on a desk made of composite laminate wood? If so what would you recommend for mounting. Thanks!

Assuming that the wood composite (flake board or pressed sawdust?) is 3/4 inch thick or more, I'd use a half inch wood screw after drilling pilot holes. If you want to be extra conservative fill the pilot hole with Elmers glue before tightening the screw. Your question is more about woodworking than the drawer itself.

Dear Neries, Thank you for contacting us regarding this computer desk. please know that is made out of composite MDF wood. Thank you, Sale Mom

I tried to do that ...it's not the sturdiest ...there isn't much room on desk top - and nothing sits too stable. Really only for an 18 inch computer, even a 23 inch would be too large for the top - it wouldn't sit stably. I think if the top was not shaped the way it is, maybe square, it would work better for a standing desk. I like some of the design in general but the materials are crap. the veneer is like a skin of soft plastic stretched out over the particle board. I had a cup of tea on the middle shelf and the heat warped the plastic so it had a lose skin look to it.

FYI, the other people who have answered are correct - you'll want to cut a board and use it to mount. It mounts very easily from that point and you will be happy with the result!

Since I am not an expert on this subject, I would say that the desk is more particle board than composite paneling. That would be my best guess though. I am sorry I cannot help you further. They describe the item as Cherry finish wood. All I can tell you is that it is very nice.

I found the swivel base worked the best to use on my desk, you will have to drill three clearance holes first for the screws, ( I used small machine screws with lock washers and nuts for best results)

I used it to reproduce some graphics on my bike, I'd say the wood would have be sealed and or painted to give it a good surface to stick to. But I really don't know if this would be the right stuff for a desk.

I screwed a thin piece of ply wood on my stand to accomodate any key board. However, I had to put the holes in this stand for mounting the plywood. I got a table a few years ago from Buddy Rodgers Music that already had the mounting holes.

Yes it's all wood on the desk. If you were to get the hutch for it, the backing on the hutch is more of a tag board.

Yes. You would need to obtain some self tapping screws from your local hardware store. Of course you could get some 5 minute epoxy and epoxy two small pieces of wood (firing strips) to the desk bottom and use standard screws to attach the tray. I really like my tray and would take the time if need be to attach it to your favorite desk. Good luck with it.

The desk is largely a high-impact plastic. I would be hesitant to drill any holes in the desk. Really though, the balance on this is so superb, anti-slip surface effective, and the glide up and down so smooth, I can't imagine my 24" display falling off, unless your desk is inside a private jet or tour bus. I do have a foam back desk mat underneath, only because I had that left over from before acquiring the VariDesk.

Personally, having tried both methods, I would opt to have separate mounts. For one thing, if you change your desk configuration later, you may find that having a dual mount is no longer suitable for some reason.

you will be able tosee what happens is the mount doesnt hang behind the desk its inward. infact if you look at it from the top down at no point does the edges, other than the part attached to the actual desk, hanging over the desk.you should be fine.

I don't think so, but I have never tried to mount mine because I have an office desk. I hope this helps you.

You can customize where you mount it but it recommended mounting at least 1" of space back from the front edge of the desk. So long as there is enough room for the bracket you will be fine, just use the bracket as a guide to where exactly you want it and you can stick it there (the piece has a strong adhesive which allows you some freedom to work) and then you just put the screws in and compete setup and viola!

Hello Paul, My experience with desk thickness is that should be fine. I operate a business and have bought dozens of various mounts. I clamped this one to a plate glass desktop (very thin) and a very thick desk top. The key to securing firmly is having enough lip for the clamp to slide unto and get a good grip. Some desks have no lip and some not very deep. If not a deep lip, the issue of course is not the top, but the underneath clamp or the knob. The knob may be to close to a side panel to turn. I some cases, I have trimmed down the knob to get closer. Which then requires using a tool to turn and get tight. But that has worked a number of times. I also have secured this mount through desktop by drilling when no lip. This is a fine mount for the price. Very sturdy. Best of Luck.

First let me say that I love this workstation. It was far more heavy and sturdy that we were expecting. I have it installed in my office where we used an "L" kitchen countertop mounted to the wall as the desktop and the installation was perfect. I feel you would need a very strong and stable foundation to mount to, I don't believe a free standing desk would be strong enough as the workstation would make it top heavy and likely pull it over. Hope this helps!
