Is the keyboard tray sturdy to type on?

Yes and no: The desk is structurally sturdy, enough that the monitor doesn't move as I type, but my keyboard tray does not lock when pulled all the way out. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to, perhaps the parts don't quite fit together properly. So it's sturdy vertically, but not horizontally. Other than that, I really like it.

No, I wouldn't put anything heavier than your keyboard on it. Mine actually arrived broken so, apparently, shipping was too much for it.

It's sturdy , can handle more then a keyboard . For how long ? Made in China !

The metal assembly for attaching the tray to a desktop is heavy, and should be attached to solid wood 1.5" In. thick or more The unit is not very stable (without adding side stabilizers) to the keyboard when used at full width however.

The keyboard trays that screw on are the best. The very first time I installed this tray it worked great. I had to move it (that's why I didn't want the screw on keyboard). Since I've moved it the tray becomes loose and I can't tighten it completely. The nuts are plastic and I will have to replace them - that might solve my problem. For the money it is a good product. I don't feel this tray was intended for heavy use like a work environment.

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

The keyboard tray is very sturdy and, the desk as a whole, is great. Just make sure you get the caps on the end of the tray on or you will get cut. I spend many hours each day at it and love it.

also, I used the existing keyboard tray instead of the plastic one supplied - ya it's a little wobbley, but acceptable. Didn't have to buy a new desk, so it was very cost effective for us

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

Yes, very sturdy tray. You could easily put a refridgrator on it if it isn't too big for the tray.

It wiggles when i snap my laptop down onto the docking station. I only move it by grabbing low on the main bars in fron (to vacuum, it's on carpet). It's not terribly sturdy. Let's say this... i wouldn't buy it for a child but i know i won't be leaning on it, etc. The keyboard tray is prettu sturdy.

Absolutely, you can leave the keyboard tray off and not affect the stability or strength of the desk.

Yes it is. You can pop the hinge out of the keyboard which will get separated.

I have a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FJW3RTA/) and it fit nicely on the tray. I feel like the tray can handle most any keyboard unless it is something huge like a Kinesis Advantage.

Neither the anchor bracket, arm from anchor nor plastic tray are inherently flimsy. Because the plastic tray is so wide - a 'strong' point when using a large ergonomic keyboard and still have room for a mouse - the tray does have some flex. I do lots of fast typing and find no problems with this units strength.

Very firmly. I use it in my lap frequently and that was impossible with my old keyboard too. I've had mine for 3 months so far and couldn't be happier!

I use my table in an art studio so do not use it for typing, but I think it would wobble a bit. When opened, it is a little unstable.
