Well packaged, everything organized and ready to go. Assembly directions clear and easy to follow. Template provided made it easy to install under desk. Mouse tray handy, well located on either side and large enough for which ever model or size used. Easy to switch form left to right side. Would have liked to have a backstop on drawer to allow for storage of needs without worry of sliding off of backside.
It was quick and easy to install. It glides in and out nicely. My large, ergonomic keyboard does not fit well but I am making due. I'm not sure about the slide out mouse holder however I'm trying it out.
I built a desk out of 1 1/2" thick oak and a pair of oak filing cabinets but the keyboard and mouse height were causing pain in my right shoulder and I thought it might be due to the height and location of the keyboard and mouse. I installed the drawer this morning and worked all day without pain! This did what I needed and it's pretty sturdy.
Pros: design, Functionality
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so glad to hear that our keyboard drawer helped to work out all of the pain in your shoulder!! Thank you for choosing Fellowes.
I could not use the the mouse pad extension as all the screw holes were broken when I unpacked it. I could use an extension for an adding machine but it didn't appear to be sturdy enough for that anyway. I didn't want my mouse down there so I just omitted that part. Simple solution is to not pre-assemble that part. Pressure on the screws during shipping broke the holes they were in.
Pros: design, Functionality, easy assembly
Cons: bad packaging
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to read that the mouse tray on your keyboard drawer was broken upon arrival! Should you like to exchange your item, we would be happy to assist you with this. Thank you for choosing Fellowes!
The keyboard drawer is an innovative idea but it is very difficult to install due to having to lay on your back and work with your arms in an uplifted, extended position. The unit is very difficult to hold in place while attaching the screws. I used hex screws instead of the ones provided. The greatest design FLAW is the use of the nuts to fasten the brackets together. They should be molded into the plastic to prevent their falling out during installation. When I tried to adjust the drawer height later I found it an impossibility to change the setting due to the nuts falling out of the recesses and I eventually removed the unit altogether. Waste of $$$
I love this under the desk keyboard tray. Great price, contemporary design, and compact with extendable mouse tray that actually stays extended if you want it to.
