Under Desk Keyboard Tray 24 in All-Metal Platform - Space Saving

In this review of the 24 in all-metal under desk keyboard tray, the bottom line is straightforward: it is a practical space-saving solution for home and small office desks that need a low-profile, metal pull-out platform. The tray is best for users who want to clear desktop clutter and add a shallow storage drawer that can hold a keyboard, stationery or small tools. The build and hardware are solid for many buyers, though some users should expect mixed installation experience and a bit of tray flex under heavier loads.

Key Features

• All-metal construction: The metal platform and frame provide a durable surface that resists breakage better than plastic alternatives.
• Under-desk mounting: The slide-mounted design frees up desktop area by tucking the keyboard or supplies neatly under the desk.
• Height-adjustable brackets: Two bracket sizes and five mounting positions let you set the tray 2.36 in to 4.72 in below the desk bottom to match your ergonomics.
• Smooth sliding action: Retractable slides are designed for quiet push-and-pull operation so the tray opens and closes with minimal noise.
• Multiuse storage: The 22.83 in by 12.91 in tray holds keyboards, office supplies, school items and small tools to reduce surface clutter.
• 50 lb maximum load: The slides and metal build support substantial weight for a desk drawer, useful when storing heavier office items.

Who It's For

This tray is well suited for remote workers, students and hobbyists who want to reclaim desk surface area while keeping a keyboard and everyday supplies handy. It works particularly well on Ikea-style and similar flat-bottom desks where under-desk mounting fits cleanly.

People who need a perfectly rigid keyboard platform under heavy, constant load or those who cannot drill into their desk should look elsewhere. Also, buyers who expect factory-perfect hardware and fully detailed step-by-step assembly may find the instructions less clear and should be comfortable with basic DIY installation.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• All-metal build increases durability versus plastic trays and lends a premium black finish.
• Tray size and shape free up desktop space and can store keyboards and assorted office tools.
• Adjustable height brackets and smooth slides make setup flexible and the tray easy to operate.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed quality in the supplied hardware and occasional difficulty with installation instructions.
• The wide platform can flex somewhat under heavy loads, so it may not feel rock-solid with very heavy keyboards or tool sets.
