VIVO Clamp and Rail Set for Custom Wood Tray — 2 Pack

DIY Sliding Tray Kit for Custom Wood Platforms

This VIVO clamp and rail set converts a user-supplied wooden board into an under-desk sliding keyboard tray. It targets home-office workers and hobbyists who want to reclaim desktop surface area and improve typing ergonomics without buying a pre-made tray. The pack includes two steel slider tracks, C-clamps, anti-skid padding and all mounting hardware needed for assembly.

Upgrade from Fixed or Stacked Trays

The kit replaces a static shelf or a second-tier riser that cannot retract, freeing legroom when the keyboard is not in use. The jump is worthwhile when the existing tray meets the minimum 10.5 width and 0.6 thickness, weighs no more than 11 lbs, and the desk thickness falls between .5 and 1.75. Builders with thicker desks or heavier platforms will not achieve the required 3.75 clearance and should look elsewhere.

Straightforward Clamp-On Installation

Mounting relies on hand-tightened C-clamps that grip the desk edge without drilling, while pre-drilled tracks fasten to the wood tray with supplied screws. The most common issue is insufficient vertical gap: combined desk and tray thickness must leave enough room within the 3.75 envelope for the mechanism to slide freely. Anti-skid pads protect both surfaces, but misaligned tracks can cause binding during the first few cycles.
