I wanted a spot on my standing desk to put misc office supply stuff without it being on the work top. This tray is a great size, and fits securely to the monitor pole. Its easily adjustable, and also holds my phone nicely, either landscape or portrait. the front slot for the phone has 3 slots in it that you can run a power cord through if you wanted to.Overall a really nice affordable solution. I actually ordered a couple more for my other office and one of my employees.
