Product Reviews of Classic Wood Lap Desk
Product Review: Very Disappointed!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this as a gift for my husband and was very disappointed. The "wood" is warped and the computer doesn't sit flat and even on the lap desk; it wobbles. I use the word "wood" loosely because my husband decided to try and sand it down and quickly got through the "wood" laminate. We feel this is a cheaply made product.Product Review: Very Nice Wooden Lap Desk
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for my husband as a birthday present. He likes to sit on the sofa and watch TV while writing bills and is always trying to find something solid - a book, notebook, or leaning way over or sitting on the floor to write on the coffee table. One evening in the middle of bill writing he blurted out that he wants lap desk!
I read the reviews of many of the various lap desks available and settled on this one because of all the good reviews it received, and because it was made out of wood. Hubby has used it a few times now and though he says his lap gets a little bit warm where it rests, he's quite happy with it. It seems to be well constructed and the bean-bag like cushion on the bottom appears very durable. It molds itself into the shape of your lap so the desk will sit straight and stable. The filling can be replaced through the zipper in the fabric. The narrow strip of wood at the bottom of desk is handy to keep a pencil/pen from rolling away and landing in the couch cushions or on the floor. And it's not too heavy nor too light - just right.
I don't consider it to be a fine piece of furniture that will be handed down to our kids when we bite the dust, it's not that well made or finely finished. Though it has a nice cherry finish, it's pretty plain jane with no frills, but it should last for several years and I don't foresee any problems with it. We haven't used our laptop on it yet, but I'm sure the desk will be fine for that. It stores nicely under the couch too and is there ready and waiting to be used when he (or anyone else) needs it. I'm probably going to buy my mother one since she loves to sit in front of the TV and work cross-word puzzles.
Product Review: Very Satisfied

I was looking for a high quality wooden lap desk with a really low-sitting surface (i.e. narrow height), almost flush with my lap. This is the only way for me to be able to work with my arms in a relaxed position, otherwise my neck starts hurting. I've had two cheap plastic lap desks prior to this one that had low profiles, and they worked okay while they lasted, but they both started cracking and crumbling within a year. Once you have this desk on your lap, you can tell that it is clearly a high quality product, sturdy and durable, and beautiful to look at. It sits almost as low as the cheap desks I owned (mere millimeters of difference). I'm very happy with it, and I will be surprised if it doesn't last me 5+ years.Product Review: Well Made

This is not your run of the mill Lap Desk. This is well made, sturdy, wood. It's heavier than other lap desks, but it's darn nice quality made.Product Review: Wood Lap Desk

I was very pleased with this item. I ordered it for my husband for his birthday and was very pleasantly surprised at it's quality and sturdiness. You can't tell how well something is made from a picture, but for the price, this is a great find.
