Easy to assemble - stable with laptop
This table arrived quickly and the instructions were easy to follow to put together. Once together, the legs easily slide under the couch, bringing it close enough to work on. The surface can be a little wobbly (side-to-side) as others have reported; yet it is firm with the 18 inch pole installed across the bottom of the structure [called a balance pole in description]. However, with laptop on the surface and mouse - more than stable enough to work with.
It has a lip, raised edge, on the front to hold the laptop in place (not slide off) if at the slight angle down - for reading a book, for example. The level surface position is parallel to the ground, as expected - (someone reported that it wasn't) - so good for the laptop; added the lip to stop it from being pulled to far forward.
ONLY PROBLEM: According to the description, it can be easily stored NEXT to a wall or under a couch. I did NOT find that possible. The top drops down, and the base is NOT capable of being folded together, as the picture shows in the description. The two legs are "L" shaped and can NOT be twisted inward because of two problems - (1) the brace at bottom stabilizing the two legs and (2) the "L" shaped legs with no twist position (legs height set using pins on both sides of legs - no setting for twisting and position).
As photo #1 shows, the best this item can be stored is at the edge of a couch (with legs pushed UNDER) or alongside of wall with legs facing out. The description should reflect this. Instead they show a picture with easy folding inward of legs and storage upright against wall and under couch. NOT POSSIBLE as built.
