Customer Review

Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2021
I've been using an old dining table to work at home, and the height was not ideal for typing, resulting in wrist and joint pain. This adjustable keyboard tray was the solution. I used the optional supports/stand-offs (separate purchase) to get around the apron at the front of table, and I was able to set the keyboard and mouse at a level that is comfortable for 8 hours of work. The track system is very solid metal, surprisingly heavy and seems robust. As other reviews have noted, it is not a smooth slider as it is metal on metal, so not something you want to be sliding in and out a lot. I think it is more intended to be used as "set it and forget it", which is what I have done. To that end, the adjustment lever is only plastic and does not seem that robust, but as this is not something I will be adjusting frequently I am not worried about it. The keyboard tray itself is a little light and has a slight bounce when you press down on it, or if you are a heavy typer, but I do not find it to be a problem. I would not recommend ever trying to lean on the tray. The included wristpad is a joke, cheap hollow plastic that does not seem like it would be comfortable. I would only recommend using it if you plan on using the tray at a forward angle and need something to keep the keyboard from sliding off. Installation was a little difficult as the position of the screwholes do not leave a lot of room to get a screwdriver in but once it is done it seems very solid. I would recommend a nice solid surface to install it in to, given the weight of the unit. Despite these few small criticisms, this was the solution I was looking for and it is good value for the price.
