can I use this for sitting in my bed while using it for my 15" laptop & is the height tall enough for me to sit in my bed

I don't think so. There are desk for people who want to stand and work on their PC.

It would not be comfortable. Should be used with a chair. The laptop would be better on even a kitchen table. Sorry

Yes, this is one of the main reasons I bought mine. It fits well in small spaces also.

Sorry for my delayed response. But to answer your question, when in the bed mode, the height from the top of the mattress to the floor is the same as the seat when used as a sofa. That would be 15". It sits low, but for sleeping purposes, it's fine. I hope my response helps.

I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much). However, when you extend it to it's maximum height, not only is it not quite high enough to use as a standing desk (and I am short!), but it also gets pretty wobbly. Right now, I have mine set at about 3 ft. and that is perfiect for sitting on the side of my bed and using my laptop. ( We have a somewhat tall bed, FYI.) I esitmate one could raise it another 8 inches or so since there are 2 more holes left on the metal post, but as I said, it gets pretty wobbly when fully extended. I do like it very much, though.

The side that raises is 13.5 inches; the side that doesn't raise is 8". You could certainly hold your laptop on the raised side, as far as size goes. We use it for an I pad, so I don't know if the weight of the laptop would be a problem.

Hi, it's tall enough but I wouldn't recommend it. It's very difficult to change positions/maneuver around. I still have it but spent a bit more money and bought another one way better. Dont buy it. Its a waste of money to me!

With my 15" laptop, the rear is elevated about 2.5 inches, and the front about 1 inch. The front of the laptop does not touch the desk, since the stand has four "feet" so there is space underneath. I use a cushion for my wrists to make typing easier. I like the elevation because it tilts the keyboard -- better for the wrists. I wish it were a little higher in back but I couldn't find a stand with more elevation.

Yes. My husband is 6'3" and uses it when I am not...although your comfort level may also depend on how high your desk/table is.

I think you can, but you may want to consider another option. I am 5'11 and sometimes it gets low. I love the solution for me because I was able to use my existing desk. Hope this helps.

Hi Irene. It all depends what u'll use it for. I use it when I paint outdoors and sit for long periods, that's why I chose the 'Comfort' model which has a wider base. I chose this height too so my thighs are parallel to the ground which enables me to put stuff on my lap without it rolling off. I'm just about your height too, nearly 5'3", 110lbs (52kg) Hope this helps.

It will but it will extend over the desktop part that elevates (props up) somewhat but would still be accommodating. The desktop part ( not including the mousepad part next to it which also elevates independently of the desktop) measures 13. I enjoy mine very much but my laptop is a bit smaller at 15 and still meets my needs nicely. In other words two thumbs up!!

No, it cannot. When they say up to a 15" laptop, they mean 15" and no more. As a result, I don't use mine much.

Sorry, I have already packed it away. I just used for a weekend due to a visit from my parents. I am thinking that the height was just OK. I tried it and I had to bend over.

I am a 5'10" male, when I sit, my feet are capable of being flat on the ground, perfect level for having a laptop on your lap, or for reading. Although sometimes I extend my feet when relaxing.

Yes. I'm 6 ' and use it with no issues. It is not smal in height. Just not as wide. Perfect for small spaces and very functional. I like it

The height of the opening is only 14 inches, so it would have to be a pretty modest-sized monitor. It is about 16.5 inches from the back of the unit to the connection with the drop front, and then the drop front extends another 13.5 inches toward you. I have not tried sitting in front of it to judge height for use, but I think you would definitely want to have an adjustable height chair for it. I don't use mine as a computer desk; it makes a nice hide-the-stray-crap-before-company-comes piece of furniture and is great storage for stuff I want to have handy but not in plain view.

Yes, I always have mine in my lap. It's perfectly comfortable even though it doesn't have any padding. The legs (read: height adjustment) don't work in your lap. My laptop slides around a lot on the pad when it's in my lap, but that may be an issue with the lack of grippy-feet on my laptop.

Yes, but be aware there is nothing holding your laptop on the stand. Your laptop just sits on the stand's platform held on by friction. The more you extend the stand, the more easy it becomes to turn the stand over if it is accidentally bumped.
