Customer Reviews of Classic Wood Lap Desk
Customer 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.
Customer Review: Looks Sharp
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently bought this product for my boyfriend and he loves it! His laptop gets extremely hot and when he puts it on his lap, it's ridiculous. After I bought this product for him, he can use his laptop much more often. We're off at college and because there's never enough space, we find ourselves working on the bed. After I got this, he can work longer without quickly becoming uncomfortable. And as an added bonus-- it looks great; the wood is very attractive! I've had no problems with the bean bag cushion underneath like some have, you just have to take care of the product. Essentially it's a piece of furniture, you're only responsibility is respecting it like you would anything else.It has a convenient little zipper for whatever (i.e. pens, pencils) It's also big enough to have a little bit of room for a mouse, which is a plus when you're tired of using the trackpad.
Overall, I'm very happy with this.
Customer Review: I LOVE it
Summary: 5 Stars
It's beautiful AND functional. I wanted something for use in writing in (paper) notebooks while sitting around my home office, so they wouldn't bend down over my leg and make writing difficult. (I journal and scribble a lot for work.) I also wanted something to use with my laptop while in the car. This is perfect for both. The cushion is great, and has a zipper so you can add more polystyrene beads later on, presumably after these ones start to flatten some. This thing is just great to have around. I'm always worried that I'm going to spend money on something I won't like or use, but this is perfect and I use it multiple times daily now, and I don't mind leaving it lying around the living room, because it looks so good. It seems really sturdy - the guy who gave the bad review must have got a bad one or had his damaged in shipping. My screws are all solidly set in place and it's not chipped.Customer Review: Great Lap Desk.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned this lap desk for a while now. I chose it based on other Amazon reviews, as well as the price, and haven't regretted it.
It's very comfortable on the legs. The size, for my use, is just perfect (I didn't want something that was going to be too big and unwieldy). Its great for sitting in a chair, on the couch, or laying in bed.
Also, the overall quality of this product is great. Its really well made and has a great look. You would think it costs twice as much as it actually does. Its a really fantastic value.
As a side note, it doesn't have a ton of desk top real estate, so if your looking to use a large laptop with a mouse, things might get a little cramped. But for just using a laptop without a mouse its fine (as long as you don't need to set something else on the lap desk).
Customer Review: Good product
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this product faster than anticipated - I was expecting it about a week after I actually got it. It's a very nice color, closer to a cherry red than the color in the picture on this site. It's big enough and sturdy enough for a smallish laptop (say, a five pound laptop). The desk itself is rather lightweight as well. The padding is a basic pellet filled black cloth sack. It's soft and distributes nicely.
One minor problem is that there was some slight chipping on two corners of the desk, but I'd attribute this to the delivery rather than the manufacturer (I had another item shipped with this, and the boxes were a bit banged up). It's nothing that a little nailpolish or leftover varnish or something can't fix.
It's definitely not a bad buy, even with the one or two minor blemishes.
