Can the this be used &amp; installed at the front edge of the desk?

Yes. That's what I did with mine as my desk was attached to the wall and I didn't want to bore a hole. Things you need to know though are: You must have a very heavy table that won't topple over because of the weight of the Ergotron + MacBook. Secondly, you must have a big table so you can position the pole far left or right and not be bothered by it. Thirdly, if you're clamping it (which I did in my case), the clamp may be an eyesore. Hope this helps.

You can customize where you mount it but it recommended mounting at least 1" of space back from the front edge of the desk. So long as there is enough room for the bracket you will be fine, just use the bracket as a guide to where exactly you want it and you can stick it there (the piece has a strong adhesive which allows you some freedom to work) and then you just put the screws in and compete setup and viola!

No you can't but it doesn't get in the way. And plus you need it to readjust the desk. You may find yourself wanting to sit now and then.

Probably not. I'm not in my office at the moment, but if memory serves, the diameter of the pole isn't much larger than 3". You'd probably need to cover the hole with a thin sheet of metal (couple of bucks at a hardware store) and either drill a smaller hole for the post screw or just use the included clamp. Of course, you could also use the included clamp on some other part of the desk that *doesn't* have a 3" hole in it... Put it right next to the hole and route your monitor cables through the hole, maybe?

It is attached. It could be removed but it would leave holes in the top of the desk.

Would be difficult. The metal supports for the desk's surface run underneath the entire desk. You could possibly attach one that descends as you pull it out.

Agree to other response. I believe you could mount it away from the front a little; maybe an inch or so. The main confer is being able to put a Cd in.

I think so. Just make sure the desk has a lip in the back where the arm can clamp on to.

Yea, that should work, but you want to make sure the thing will clamp to the edge of your desk. There needs to be a lip or an edge that it can grab on to. I was honestly a little disappointed about how small it was. But it is still sweet.

That would depend on where you have it fastened. Mine is fastened to the desk top, and can be lowered a little bit lower than the desktop, but is not in a position where it could fit underneath it.

It has a fairly sturdy clamp that attaches to the far side of the desk, or you can drill some holes in the desk and bolt it in place. It seems pretty effective.

I believe so. It is actually being used by a person in another office, but I believe it is approximately that much. Suggest installing it against front wall of the desk as it extends out quite a distance. Works well

Peter Haas is correct, it can be done. But note that doing so is inconsistant with the best reason to buy the unit in the first place: its extremely small size/desk footprint.

Yes you can make it swing out of the way. I would measure it but the back is inaccessible since I have installed it on my workstation. It will take a pretty thick desk to make it unusable. Any normal desk should be fine. minimum thickness is whatever you want providing the desk is capable of holding the weight. It is basically a C- clamp. Hope this helps.

I have mine attached to the side , due to the configuration of my audio desk, and it reaches to the middle. I store it over the desk, but when I use it, it is off to the side so I have the complete desk area free. Consider on how you plan on using it, then add the length of the extension arm plus the surface of the ergotron.

Probably not. The brackets that attach to the underside of the desk need to be mounted about 5 inches back from the front of the desktop. The brackets are about 10 inches long.

Yes, I don't see why not. This is a nice desk but take your time putting it together because the instructions are useless. Cheers!
