Generously-sized surface allows me to place a laptop (placed on a small orange crate to add height), a second monitor, a remote keyboard and mouse, with still plenty of space for writing etc. I was debating between getting this vs one with a separate keyboard/mouse shelf, but am glad for the contiguous space in this design. Raising the converting desk takes some practice as the spring is not strong enough to lift all the weight on the surface so you need both hands to help it up, as well as down. (A hydraulic system may have worked better, but would have added to the cost.) It is very sturdy though, and does not wobble or move at all when you're interacting with it in its lifted position. I am 5'3" and both the first and second intermediate positions (lifts surface 6" and 10" higher than my usual desk height) are quite comfortable for me. In the lowest position, the converter table surface is 3" higher than my desk, so you likely will need to add height to your chair. One small con is that it makes a reverberating metallic sound but usually only when lifting up/down. Overall, very pleased with this purchase.
