I bought this while waiting for the right time to buy an upscale electric standing desk. This is a great addition to an existing office, since science says we shouldn’t remain seated or standing for long periods of time. It’s sturdy and the casters work well. The second shelf doesn’t go in all the way, but it is in a position that would allow me to comfortably use my keyboard. I have put my laptop on the stand and I have put books and notebooks on it to review material as it feels wide without taking up too much space. It’s not too big, so it can be easily placed in a corner, depending on the size of your space. Now that I have my fancy electric standing desk, I keep this one nearby so when I want to stand on the balcony, or near a window, I’ll be able to take my laptop and paperwork and just go. It is worth it for the price. I’m glad I got it.
