Reviews
One of my favorite things I own
"I love this (so much that I bought a second one). It's the perfect size. So many similar items are too small and narrow, so they sit oddly on my lap when I'm sitting (Too big for resting on one leg, too small for my lap). It's like the desks we used to sit at in elementary school. The quality and craftsmanship is excellent, and it looks good. I made one modification to mine. I drilled a round 1. 5" hole for a USB outlet and plugged that into a power bank, so I can plug in a light for reading/writing. (I do a lot of reading/writing in low light). I can also use my laptop and other electronic devices while they charge."
Dave's desk
"It's the right amount of room for what I carry around and the hardware is substantial."
Beautiful
"Beautifully made, solid, great finish"
Broken
"The hinge screws popped out on the first lid opening, Engineers need to rethink and beef up the hinges!!!!"
"Extremely well made. Beautiful plain cherry wood. Two interior compartments, one larger that holds my paper the other smaller that holds pens, pencils, erasers, etc. It sits perfectly on my lap with a stiifish but comfortable pillows. Hinges appear to be of good quality. I believe this item will last and I’m looking forward to a long partnership with it!"
Good lapdesk
"I like it but a bit too large"
Old-school portable lap desk
"The desk is well crafted, and useful. However, it is not as convenient as I envisioned. As one gets older, with arthritic hands, the desk would be well served to have some sort of indention on the side, or even a very small handle or ring the grasp. Thanks."
Too bulky
"It's too bulky. I honestly doubt anyone needs to keep their desk tools in a portable solution. The other one they sell is too wide, so I went with this one and wish I hadn't. Even if you store stuff inside, it doesn't lock, so whatever you put in there will fall out."

"This still has NOT arrived"
Q&A
- Is the closing device Saturday so if you stumble all the insides come flying out?
- I believe you are inquiring about the lid; it closes with small magnets (no latch to lock lid in place); so if you stumble things will fall out.
- Is there some kind of latch to keep it closed?
- There are two small magnets that help keep lid closed, but there is no latch to keep it permanently locked.
- On your old portable school lap desk. It shows a lap top inside. My laptop is 14 1/4 wide by 9 3/4 high. Is it possible to remove small compartment divider for my laptop to fit?
- sorry that small compartment is not removeable.
