Customer Review: Eh, it's ok, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
I work from a couch more than I like and have placed my 15" laptop on my belly and lap for a few years. It was never as comfortable as working at a desk. I figured a board would work, then came across this 'lap desk'.
My lap desk is black with a black cushion. Nice.
The clip that holds papers is really, really nice.
Other reviewers have pointed out that the surface bends more than they'd like. That is true for me too.
Other reviewers have stated their laps get warm when using it. That is true for me too. It is summer here now, so that extra heat isn't wanted. In the winter, I'll certainly enjoy it.
If/when it breaks (I think this is likely), I'll keep the cushion and replace the platform part with some finished wood. OTOH, I've had it about a month and there are no signs of snapping or cracking and only use it about 50% of the time when on the couch.
Customer Review: Worth what I spent...

I purchased this lap desk as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend. Let me start by saying that the descriptions on amazon were absolutely acurate. My disappointment came from not researching the product thoroughly. My first gripe is that it is called "jumbo'. While it is as big as the measurements report, it's size is adequate at best. My second problem is the bean-bag cushion. This cushion is shallow & maybe one third full of beans or whatever. It is a cushion- barely. Kind of like using a rolled up T-shirt in absence of a pillow. I still give this item three stars. It is everything it claims to be- minus the "jumbo" title. It does what it was made to do. The price was right. I would simply suggest that, if the customer has a decent budget to work with, a little more shopping could land you a nicer lap desk.Customer Review: over all good lapdesk, but soft top

when i saw this lapdesk online, i thought it would be a great product because of the large desk, but that was not the problem. the desk is large enough and the bottom pillow is very comfortable, but the actual desk itself is a little soft for me. the top is made of sturdy plastic, but if i press a little harder on the sides of the top, it can bend. i really do like the desk, but i would've preferred a harder top that didnt bend.Customer Review: A little big for small laps, but okay

I'm not a large person and this lab desk was just a little bigger than what I expected...it takes some juggling to keep it level and on my lab.
Customer Review: just another piece of plastic for the land fill

I'm here today looking for a new laptop desk to replace this one. I have owned this particular laptop desk for about a year. It has split down the middle almost all the way through and the pillow backing has thinned out to the point of being uncomfortable and hard on the knees. It also has a very small lip that runs all the way around the perimeter of the desk that can become irritating to the wrist if you use an external mouse. It doesn't have any cooling ability, that I can detect, for either my lap, or more importantly, my computer.
I suppose it would be good for occasional use, or to clip papers to, but it's not made for daily or extended periods of notebook use.
Like I said, I'm here looking for a lap desk that is basically everything this one isn't. Durable, comfortable, protective (from heat), and stylish. Hope such a thing exists.
