This tray is awesome. I specifically wanted one that was wide enough that I could have my mouse and my laptop open, and that it would fit across the span of a chair. I figured if it was useful in bed, that would be a nice benefit, but mostly I have high maintenance hair and every few weeks I spend a few hours in a salon chair. I can't justify taking that much time away from work, so I needed something that I could actually functionally use to work while sitting in the chair. Not only was this perfect for that, but it's also great to use in bed. I don't like working in bed because I feel like I am grossly unproductive, but I have now spent hours in the last few days working in bed thanks to this desk. The legs make it a little too high to have it unfolded, but resting across my lap it is comfortable, keeps my laptop from getting too hot, and is just the right size to actually use it like a desk, with an external mouse. Additionally, you can slide the charger cords through the slanted holes in the top, which keeps the wires out of your way as well.

Also, I purchased this one because it isn't ugly. It is a super nice looking wood, very sturdy, and it's nice to look at. I can leave it sitting in my room or living room and it matches my furniture as opposed to looking like a dinky desk that kids use. Overall, super happy with this purchase and I am likely to buy another one in the future.

We live in a tiny apartment and I don't have space for a desk. This product literally made a significant difference on our family being able to stay where we currently live.

The size is just right for my 13 inch laptop with a iPad on the side (shout out for the Duet app!). I use this with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Everything fits quite comfortably. Big time first world problem here. I got tired of the cords hanging down and getting tangled under the tray. So you can run the cord through the little hole that is in the bottom of the laptop or iPhone holder tray. It's nice.

It's also helpful to me that I can easily take out the keyboard ledge. I don't think I'll ever use it and it makes it possible to put my keyboard there. Just pull straight up gently (it's with pegs so you can put it back in if you want later).

The legs are solid and sturdy. Construction is far better than the Winsome Wood model we used and that broke in the first week. I think my only complaint here is that on one side the legs are too tight and they scrape when you push them in. The little drawer is also too tight and kind of awkward to get in and out. That probably varies by the model and it's super picky. Both work fine and will probably loosen with time.

The mouse pad is nice. I abandoned mouse pads 10 years ago, but it's actually nice to have. The hinged side for angling up seems to be well constructed and works, though I don't personally use it.

So all in all, highly recommend. This is one of those products I find myself super thankful that I bought.

I purchased one for my older son, to have something convenient to use for his laptop and mousepad + cell.... This is beyond perfect!!! It is so well made, and a very beautiful little piece.. I ordered another one for my other son.. It's the perfect size for your laptop/mouse, without feeling crowded.. So, if your doing work or homework, or just watching a movie on laptop, it is so comfortable.... It could be used for a little breakfast tray, or whatever else you want. Both of mine were the darker stain, which are really just lovely, and just seem to add comfort, and quality ... along with a beautiful design. It makes doing work, a little more enjoyable

When I pulled it from the box, I did notice the smell that had been mentioned previously, it has since dissipated. The color and finish is very much to my liking. I am a person with rather large thighs, and I was afraid that one of these tables would not work for me, it works just great. I cannot use it well on my couch, but it is great when I am not wanting to sit at my desk most of the day. I work from home, and I work odd hours, so I do not always want to get up and be going. I have a pup that I like to spend time with, and more so I enjoy the fact that I can lay or sit in bed with my husband and do my thing while he does his, and my arms do not go numb from holding electronics up. This is not an every day, all day use for me though, I have to get up and do something or I will go nuts, just keeps me from hurting, and gives me nice working space when I need it. I have not used the drawer yet, but my unit has a drawer that is nice fitting, so maybe they fixed the issue others were referencing. I pondered this purchase for days, I am very happy I decided to not just get one, but to go with this one!!!!

Essentially a great idea. I still use it frequently. However, it topples over in my lap constantly. The angle at which the legs open up isn't deep enough, so it will collapse one way or the other if used on a couch or bed. Additionally, I left it on my sofa by the window one day and the sun warped it.
