Does the workdesk fold up when not in use? Or is there a way to modify the work shelf to fold up when not using for homework and such?

No. Once its mounted to the wall with anchors, its there forever. The only way to modify it would be to saw it and install hinges and bottom braces. If you did that you wouldn't be able to use the side shelving. Probably not worth all that effort.

It does not fold up. There is always a way to modify. Just depends on your skill set i guess.

No it does not fold up and it would be unpractical if not impossible to modify it to fold up.

Unfortunately it does not fold. It is short enough that I turn it sideways and put it under my desk which has a dropped keyboard tray to get it out of the way when not in use.

When I would use it for work everyday, I would put it under my work station. It never got in the way there. I couldn't see keeping it ontop of your station for ANY reason though.Take it to work, take out what you use most often, close it up and put it under your station. If you need something else, pull it out, open, take out what you need, close, put back.Are there any pictures that may help you?

I am no engineer, but I don't see how the desk could stand up without the computer cabinet unless you made some other major additions (like adding crossbars).My kids both have all-in one macs (no separate box for the CPU/hard drive), but they happily use the cabinet for all kinds of other things that normally litter the desktop... headphones, cd's, notebooks... I got them a little plastic magazine holder that works well as a divider and creates a small second shelf... so they basically use the cabinet as a little closet

I think the roll out portion of the desk seems sturdy enough to use a laptop or books. I have numerous things including a printer on the top. The roll out portion has it's own legs for support.

Actually I keep my mouse on the desk most of the time, but I also use a lap desk with my computer desk and use it there. It could also be used on the pull out shelf above the drawer if I didn't use it for my scratch paper. I didn't install the CD holders that were designed to be under the printer shelf.

It happens to me all the time. You just click it back in place the way you want it (folded in, standing or flat out). It takes a little getting used to the way it folds and unfolds.

Yes, the storage bin can be rolled away entirely. It is not attatched to any part of the desk. It would be easy enough to reposition seating without the bin in the way, so wouldn't be a problem sideways. (I have an image posted here where you can see the storage bin rolled out.)

My desktop is mounted inside of a drawer. I pull it out when I need it and push it in when it is not needed. Earlier, I had it setting on the desk with my computer on top of it. This worked just fine also. If you extend it out very far, you need to support it someway in the back so it doesn't drop into your lap with the weight from the keyboard.

Yes you can fold it, it looks just like any laptop when you close it. Also I am happy to buy this-- it works perfect with my Samsung TabletI hope that would help

If I understand you correctly...I would say no...it slides out at the same position you see in the photo, just below desk top. I do want to add one thing I recently discovered...my husband said he knew since he put the desk together...I was thinking one day all I needed was a slide out shelf and noticed just above the drawer it looked as tho it would slide out...it does!I keep saying...this is a wonderful desk. It has been perfect for my space and has most everything I could possibly need in a compact desk, for my space and my needs. realizing a desk is a very individual thing, but this one is just the best.

The stand is best used with the legs cause the legs prevent the stand from folding in the middle. Although I do use the stand laying flat without the use of the legs but I lay it flat on a hard surface, like the floor or a desk something that is smooth or level. If using your lap is the most comfortable way you use your laptop then you should get a lapdesk instead those don't usually fold, Amazon has a lot of those to buy and choose from.

It does, kinda. Each time you want to store it, you have to loosen the adjusting screw, lower it if it was set above or at the level of the desk, push it under out of the way, then tighten the screw (large knob). Its a bit annoying, but the keyboard platform is almost always out and rarely stored. It is quite sturdy though, better than the drawer type i had before. Had I known this I may have looked more for a different one.

If you are attaching it to a desk, no. If it is left free-standing it definitely needs to be slightly folded to stay upright.

You can not store a laptop in this desk which is my only disappointment. The mail organizer gets in the way. The organizer does come out, but then what do you do with it? I saw a similar desk which had a hanging organizer which would allow a closed laptop to fit under it and still allow for the desk to be closed. Ironically, it was an antique built long before laptops were invented!

No, it tucks into a tab into the back. It doesn't seem to be a problem when working on a desk.
