Very helpful and functions very well.
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.
