Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm attending an online college and working on masters degree, so I was in the market for a lap desk. I ended up choosing this one. I have a few feelings about the lap desk that I feel are worth sharing. - The mouse pad area is to the right hand side. If you are typing, you'll want the computer area directly in front of you and the mouse pad area will stick out unevenly to the right about 5 inches. Assuming you'll be using this desk while on a couch, you can't really use it on the right side of the couch as it will bump up against the arm rest. So you are going to be sitting on the left side or middle spots of the couch. If you plan on using the lap desk on a single seater couch or recliner with arm rests, make sure you have enough room otherwise you'll be forever annoyed. - If you plan to recline on the couch while using the lap desk, the mouse will slide off. There isn't really a good bumper to hold the mouse from falling off. This could easily be modified if you are inclined to DIY projects. Still quite annoying. The manufacturer could easily have put something at the bottom to keep the mouse from sliding off. Give some thought to where you plan on using the lap desk before purchasing it. This lap desk is best used (almost only useful) for sitting upright on a couch with no arm rests. If you plan to use it sitting upright on a couch with no arm rests in the way, then it's a 5 star product.
