Hi all.
I'm looking for a keyboard shelf, also with room for a mouse. My current desk resembles this:

The key difference is that mine is wider and does not have any keyboard shelf at all.
My current solution is an old tea trolley, (

On top of it I've placed a big board of MDF which gives me plenty of space, but the whole thing's a bit rickety. It also takes up a bit of space under the desk. The advantage was that I already had the materials so there was no extra cost.
Now I'm ready to spend some money and buy a proper solution.

Some sort of clamp would be better.
