Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Great value and a solid piece for use as a laptop cart. It rolls well, it’s not wobbly, and it has a center post with an angular lean making it perfect for the couch or my chair. Again, for the money, this cannot be beat. The product is perfect for those sitting at a desk or chair with their laptop. I'm sure it has other uses, but as a laptop stand it was excellent and extremely sturdy. It may or may not serve well for those in bed, but I suspect it would have to be used side saddle for "in-bed" users. I don't allow electronics in my bedroom so I wouldn't use it for that purpose. Adjusting the height is easy and simple. There are no notched holes for the screw down adjustment knob, but I find it tight enough without notches. After 2 weeks of non-stop use, there has been no slipping. The top surface is 24 inches wide, wide enough to accommodate my HUGE 17 inch laptop and a large trackball mouse. The top is made of wood and is solid. The piece assembled quickly. The instructions are very basic but you can figure out most of what’s not written from photos of the final assembled piece. The base is shallow in height and slid perfectly under my den chair that is pretty low compared to standard furniture. Assembly notes: 1) Mine came with 4 lock washers that were included as extras and not described in the instructions. It was obvious they were intended for the base as that’s the fulcrum of this stand. I added the washers’ top-side of the base post screw down to lock down the screws from the top- the threaded washers were on the bottom and secure the bottom well. 2) Be sure to pre-fit the top wood part of the unit to the metal piece it screws into to get it correctly situated directionally before tightening it down. It can be kind of a palindrome, but luckily it’s either one way or the other. After you situate it, put it on the unit when fully assembled, then you can screw the top down to the metal bracket provided. You can screw it down to be horizontal as it was built, or you can do it backwards which does put the top at an angle if you prefer that. There is no adjustment for the angle of the top. I’m giving this 5 stars due to price, quality, and how well it works for its intended purpose. If something happens and it fell apart after a year for whatever reason.... so what – I’ll buy another one at this price point. Probably going to buy a second unit for my office.
