TrekDesk Treadmill Desk

I'm typing this review while walking on my treadmill and using the TrekDesk Treadmill Desk. I use a desk top with a flat screen monitor not a lap top. Assembly was pretty easy. Most desks take me about 4 hours. The only bad review I've read about this desk is a doctor who commented on it's stability.
TrekDesk Treadmill Desk : Exercise

My flat screen sits on it with no problem. No problem there. Nothing will shake off of this desk. I can run 4 mph with no problem and even faster. Just be sure not to fall into the desk while running fast :) I do suggest having good speakers to turn up the volume while running fast to overcome the noise of the tread mill. Sure if you buy a $5000 solid oak treadmill desk the desk will be solid and super stable. 
  • Integrated treadmill desk designed to let you walk on treadmill while working
  • Attaches to almost any treadmill; workspace measures 72 by 34 inches
  • Includes manuscript holder, three-level file folder; and top telephone/headset stand
  • Two cup/utility holders; adjusts to users between 5 feet, 4 inches and 6 feet, 4 inches tall
  • Supports up to 55 pounds of equipment; weighs 57 pounds; two-year warranty
The 1/16 inches that the desk moves is no problem because your head moves while walking probably 6 inches or so. I can rest my arms on the desk. I have a keyboard, mouse, lamp, phone and I haven't knocked anything off the desk. The desk is great for the price. My treadmill has a funky u-shape on the front arm supports.

Very versatile design. I scooted the desk all the way up toward the treadmill control knob. I can reach over the desk and turn the speed adjustment with no problem. My arms rest at the same level as they would on a regular desk. The two cup holders are nice. Very nice design. The TrekDesk Treadmill Desk has tons of room and the center cut out is what makes it awesome giving you room to run on your tread mill. I set my monitor off center a bit so I could access the tread mill controls. Very nice.

The holes in the back of the desk are great for running your computer wires through and getting them out of the way. I have 8 to 10 wires running off the desk. I've walked 2.1 miles while typing this review. The high density plastic is very strong and it makes the desk lighter. My kid's swing set is metal tubes with dense plastic. This desk is similar in durability to a swing set.
