If you are looking for a quality keyboard tray, keep looking! Although I was pleased that the support bar and articulating arm were metal, the tray itself is plastic. Its a fairly sturdy plastic, however the tray bounces up and down when you attempt to type. DO NOT PAY more than $30 for this thing, you'd be better off making one yourself! I'm currently trying to return this item to the seller (not Amazon), and I'm having difficulty getting my money back. I certainly don't want a replacement issued, I don't want it at all! Definitely keep looking for a higher quality keyboard tray... Kensington has some nicer (more expensive) trays, but after this one, I'm leery to buy a tray from them again. My advice would be to look at the Bush articulating keyboard tray... still on the "expensive" side, but appears to be of better quality.

First a response about the Hazlewood review. That text should be added to the seller review. The fact that the product is not the same pictured is not appropriate as the product review. It's just that the seller shipped the wrong product, duh. Anyway, regarding the product itself, I use this every day. It is well made and sturdy. I can put significant weight on it, fully resting my arm on it and it fully supports. It easily slides in and out from under the desk. The slide mechanism is made of thick gauge metal.

Overall, for the price, this product was good. The value for the price definitely is what tips the scale. It was relatively easy to mount, and it works fairly well. It's not the most stable platform I've ever seen, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone who does a tremendous amount of typing. But it's far from the most flimsy I've seen! If there was any major complaint, it would be the position of the handle used to lock it into position (or unlock it). If you plan to raise this platform above the level of its "runner" for use and then lower it before pushing it back under the desk, that could be an issue (which makes you have to bend and reach a little to get to the handle).
