This is one of the best purchases (on or off Amazon) that I’ve made in recent memory - especially for the price. I write by hand and illustrate quite often and this has solved most of the terrible pains caused from hunching over my work. I also bring it around the house and use it flat on a desk or table when I want to raise any work or writing (or my laptop) closer to my eyes. I assume it would be a great way to hold an iPad while reclining, as well. Although I expect for that use it would help if the flip-down ledge to rest it on were larger. This would help me out when using larger notepads/sketchpads/magazines/books.
I bought this lap desk specifically because it was one of the less common models that allows the work surface to be raised higher. Once it’s adjusted to that height, the legs that support it are nice and sturdy, (I can lean on them with my elbows.) Surprisingly, the rather thin plastic of the work surface does not flex anywhere when you’re writing on it and feels really solid. It would be nice if the adjustable legs locked into place so it didn’t come loose when picked up or turned on its side, but it’s not a big deal. The cushions on the underside are really comfortable and nice and tall to provide extra height. They are presumably spaced apart feom one another instead of one large cushion so it feels ventilated on your lap and doesn’t make you hot. It’s slim enough to keep under the couch or coffee table.
For what I paid, I feel crazy for not getting one sooner. And this one especially is a great value for how useful it’s been and how much assistance and relief it provides.
This thing couldn't have been made much more inexpensively; which for me wasn't bad at ~$15 but there are this exact pattern lap desk at double and triple the cost.
The desk fits a 15" Macbook Pro with about 1/2" extra width on the sides and the Macbook hangs over the rear of the raise-able shelf by about 1/4".
When the flip-up base is down there is nothing keeping it down where as the raise-able back latches down securely. The flip-up is enough to hold the Macbook from falling forward regardless of raised position.
This is made of extruded plastic probably ABS and has 2 tubes filled with poly beads on the bottom wrapped in a soft microfiber. The back tube is slightly larger than the front.
This was replacing a much more expensive wooden lap desk which lost the small holder on it which kept the laptop from falling forward. I use this more over my chest in bed then on my lap while sitting so I didn't enjoy catching the occasionally slid laptop in my face. This is working at the moment to hold the laptop in place on my chest and only time will tell how well it holds up. I got about 4 years out of my last one; seeing how this one is made and what it is made of I will hope to get half that.
The lap top desk is very useful. It stays on your lap comfortably and supports a large hard bound book or my iPad. The variety of adjustments is helpful. I can now read a book which I was not able to do before because I have arthritis in my hands.
This lap top desk is surprisingly strong. I'm using it to hold a 15" Dell laptop and there's plenty of room for it. The desk tray is comfortable and easy to move. I've had the laptop tables for beds/chairs and there is no way to get out from under them as fast as this one.The only thing I don't like is that the back part of the tray that is adjustable to change the angle of the computer does not lock. It doesn't fall down easily but it did fall on my thumbs with the computer on top of it when I was moving it. If you have a super lightweight computer or tablet, it would probably be fine but my 15" computer was heavy enough to bruise my thumbs when they got stuck between the riser and the rest of the tray.
As a college student, I'm constantly sitting and looking down when doing school work. It got to a point where my shoulders and neck were sore everyday and my hips ached from sitting either in a chair or on my bed criss-cross-applesauce style.
I decided to purchase this as a solution to my laptop always sliding around on the books I would place underneath it as I studied in bed. However, this lap desk has since been utilized in do many other ways that have since shown me I was a Neanderthal with the way I did work before this purchase.
Now, I can comfortably take notes and write flashcards while semi-laying down (no more hunching over to write for long periods!), my laptop stays firmly in place on its surface because of the fold up lip, and the adjustable tray makes viewing or writing at any angle a total breeze. The soft pads underneath vary in size with a gap between them that helps with keeping your legs (or stomach or chest - I'm not judging) from getting too hot, and they're so soft they also make you forget there's anything on top of you at all!
This lapdesk is my favorite studying tool, and I've recommended it to everyone who listens because it's honestly that great.

As a short person, I was having a difficult time finding a lap desk that is the right angle for using my tablet while siting. This desk is perfect as it is adjustable in addition to the bolsters. It is a good size as it would accommodate most laptops and tablets but it is not too big. My only complaint is that when you are carrying it by the handle, the tab at the bottom for keeping the laptop from sliding down, opens up and it could catch on something.
This is a great invention. I bought a product call Litpads. You stick stuff to them and they adhered to any surface no they're reusable. But I digress, I slapped one of these puppies on my Mind Reader and I'm in business. My iPad doesn't slip off and now I can watch my Jimmy Fallon videos in comfort. I'm so glad I got this.
This is a great laptop desk. It works perfectly for my 13" laptop, my Kindle Fire and for reading books or magazines. I agree with other reviewers that it is not super thick plastic...but I actually like this because it keeps the desk light. The bean bags on the pack are comfortable, so I can use it for extended periods. I like the adjustable back and the little tab that flips up, which keeps the device in place. I recommend this product!
Love this lap top desk! I use it to write on and also to ho!d my Kindle to read, etc. Very comfortable to use on my lap. Not flimsy at all. Folds flat when not in use of you desire. Can't recommend it highly enough!
I LOVE reading in bed but my books were so heavy to hold, even if resting on a pillow. Enter this simple little lap desk! I would give it 10 stars if I could.... JUST what I needed!! Yes, it's kind of cheaply made from plastic, but for the price, you really can't beat it!! I'm currently reading a 500+ page hardcover book and this holds it up with ease! I do place a pillow under it to raise it up, but that's not a problem. I bought a second one for my book loving friend and I know she'll appreciate it as much as I do!! = )
