I would like to use this as a "make-shift" monitor riser on my desk, will it withstand the weight? And is it stable enough?

I bought two of these for my nieces to take to college. They are wonderful as a lap desk. But I don't think it would work well as the monitor stand. First, the top section is slightly angled for easier typing. Second, this stand is used by basically sitting on it with the vertical piece between your legs. That is what gives it it's stability. If it were me, I would look for a more suitable monitor stand. Hope this helps!

No. It is too lightweight and requires your legs to provide stability. It's great for traveling - car, bus, train, etc.

I wouldn't recommend doing that. It will withstand the weight but it won't be stable (unless the laptop screen is closed).

No. The stand has an angle to it and as a stand alone item will fall. The item is designed to be placed between your legs for support so that your laptop is resting at a comfortable height

No. The desk doesn't stand on its own. It is supported by being held between your legs.

Yes, it is pretty sturdy. I doubt there is a (non CRT) monitor out there that is heavy enough that you would have to worry.

Hi T Smith,I have a 21" flat screen that I just lifted in order to answer your question. I think it must be about the same weight as yours. The lift works. You want to make sure all the adjustments are in a locked position before putting the monitor on the lifter stand. I have might adjusted high. the flat tray is 24" off the top of my desk. It rocks a bit when I first put the monitor down but holds it without a problem. I hope this helps.

I would have to say the only reason if the VESA mounting is the same would be because of the weight. I know my TV weighs around 40lb and the counter weight of this bracket works perfectly after a little adjustment. It is totally safe and will never fall while in the up position, however with a little force I can swing it down. Again, the only think I would be worried about is if you wouldnt be able to adjust the counter weight enough to equal out the amount of your monitor, causing it once moved into the down position to return up.

I've only used it for a video projector, about 10lbs and a macbook pro, about 3 pounds. It's pretty stable. using the non extended legs. I haven't tried them extended but I would assume the higher you go, the less stable it is.

i have 2 monitors and a vertical dual monitor rack on it. total weight is about 50 lbs and the desk is fine.

Plenty sturdy for any monitor or other home computer equipment. I need to lean on mine to access my corner lamp and have never felt that it was any thing but solid. Now I would not stand or dance on the desk, but I feel secure leaning on its with my 200 lbs. Like someone else mentioned I would not put a lot of weight on the keyboard shelf, but if you don't lean on the drawer it will never warp. It is plenty strong for a keyboard and mouse.

i do not believe it will move very easily. also this will increase the chance of the riser collapsing. i personally do not advise this.

I wouldn't recommend it! I don't think the hardware is sturdy enough to act as a pedestal sitting upright with the weight of a monitor. It was definitely designed to hang from something. I have a larger 22" monitor that I mounted to my desk using a different mount from a company called Mount-it that I purchased through Amazon. Here is the link to that product and it works very well mounting to a desk or any other flat surface. Mount-It!

My screens are 19 and 14 pounds and it holds just fine at max extention (~2ft). However mine is mounted through a 1 inch mdf desktop with 2 inches of clearance from the edge of the desk. When I was using the clamp to decide where to permanently mount it, the arm was a little unstable and I did not feel comfortable leaving them mounted like that for any extended amount of time. The arm is definitely strong enough to hold both your monitors, it's more a question of how you plan on mounting it. In short; it will hold just fine if you don't use the clamp and have a good solid desktop.

I believe it would hold it well without wobbling as long as it's on a level surface. Their TV stand is a pretty solid piece too.

Very stable. I put it on a stand but I think it will also work on a desk. You might need a high chair for a comfortable gesture.

This is a Very Solid Stand. I have a 15.6 Laptop and zero issues. I used the clamps and clamped it to the back of my desk. As long as you follow the assembly instructions you should be fine. I can type of mine with no wobble at all. I have a rolling stand that is not nearly as sturdy. this unit is ALL metal...you will not be disapointed :)

I purchased this bookshelf and it is great!, it is very strong, will it hold the weight of the books? yes, but... if there is any floor inclination... then it might fall forward. I am using it for computer devices, and other related game accessories.

I use mine to hold up a 15 lb projector screen, I don't have any issues and it's quite stable as well. I'd fancy a guess at a max load of ~20 lbs.

I have no problems with it being stable. It doesn't tip(unless all your weight is on one edge). Or bounce/shift under you. And I have balance and depth perception issues! So I think you'll be safe.
