Customer Reviews of Tranquilty Zone by SPI Lapdesk with Light
Customer Review: Laptop Desk
Summary: 3 Stars
When I received this product, the light/lamp was busted so I emailed Amazon.com and "customer service" replied that you were sending a replacement and also .... in the email said .. "FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS, WE DON'T WANT THE ORIGINAL BACK, SO PLEASE DISPOSE OF IT AT YOUR CONVENIENCE."
Then I received another email form "orders@amazon.com" reminding me to return the damaged item or I would be charged AGAIN for that item. I tried to reply but I never heard from anyone. At this point, I don't know what I'm suppose to do ... return it or dispose of it.
I love the lapdesk except the lamp/light for this desk is useless! It doesn't give hardly any light and a replacement bulb is impossible to find.
Customer Review: This item was contagious !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It started with my 83 year old mother's laptop. She was setting it on her ottoman to use and it was getting too hot. I got this lapdesk for her to make it easier to use in her chair. She loved it! My brother came over to see her and noticed the lapdesk. He said he liked it and has been looking for one. I ordered one for him just because! Then I got to thinking about my own usage of my laptop and how if both of them loved their lapdesk, I would probably like to have one for myself!
There are three of us who are thrilled with this lapdesk. I use mine everyday and love it a lot. The light has come in handy several times already. I can highly recommend this item. (so can my mom and my brother!!)
Customer Review: mixed bag
Summary: 3 Stars
Good:
Flat surface (I really can't find other products that have a truly flat surface like this).
Bad:
Light. I wish I can get a model without the light
I lived in fear of accidentally pushing the light and scratching my laptop screen (the light is made of metal).
My old compter got really hot (1st gen intel MacBook Pro, they ran very hot). So hot that it damaged the surface of this thing and peeled the top cover where the computer leg rested on it.
Someone spilled something on the padding it so I had to get rid of it (It was uncleanable).
And now I find myself not willing to buy another one. If they had a model without the light I'd get it.
Customer Review: Love the desk and the comfort of it on my lap
Summary: 4 Stars
This was just what I wanted for working with my laptop, but it is a little heavier than I was hoping it would be. There were so many choices, and the light did it for me because I also like to read late at night. The batteries don't last very long for me, but the laptop was my main purpose.
Older people would probably like this desk for correspondence and reading, plus it certainly makes your lap warm. I recommend this as an alternative to a chill pad with your laptop, rather than an addition to the chill pad. The entire set up with the chill pad, laptop and lap desk make this a bulky thing for the lap. Something has got to go, and I think it has to be the chill pad.
Customer Review: Light did not work
Summary: 1 Stars
My daughter received this item, and was very happy with it until we tried to turn on the light. The light did not work. Since the item was a gift we did not have the receipt. After replacing the light bulb (which was broken) the light still did not work. After taking the desk apart, and playing with the electronics (wrench, exacto knife, ohm-meter) I determined that one lead was soldered to the wooden board (about 1/4th of an inch from the switch contact).
I concluded that the desk could not have ever worked (since wood does not conduct electricity). So only buy this product if you want a desk from a company that doesn't check to see if the product works.
