So I’m in the market for a desk at the moment
I want to have a desk with a pull out keyboard table
I know there some online but the ones out there don’t have a keyboard table as big as I want it
When Installing a slide out table how would I know it would be stable enough to hold 50%+/- of my weight to use to to type and maybe use it to write one?

drawer slides will have a weight rating on them

How large of a table do you want? Are you looking for just sliding in and out or do you want tilt, height adjust, and swivel as well?

I have this one. I put a 35.5” by 12” keyboard tray on it.

And you’re able to push it back in and out?

#

Yeah it pushes back so the tray is fully under the desk.

#

It has like a 15” travel I think.

And how much weight can I put in it
I have a bad habit of leaning in my desk too much

It probably can’t take 75 lbs without slipping. But I can put my forearms on it and lean my torso on it while sitting and it flexes a tiny bit but otherwise holds.

#

If you really want to bear down on it, slides are probably your best bet.

I haven’t done anything like that, but it looks like they just have two hinges that they’ve sunk into the boards and a clasp to hold it in place when closed.
