Lap Gear Wood Lap Desk Euro Mahogany with Storage

Bought this for the wifie. She's a teacher and does a lot of homework and loves being able to sit on the sofa and hold all she needs on this large and well made lap desk. The storage areas are adequate for pencils and such, not much more, and the desk is easy to position to the right angles for writing or holding her laptop. Quick shipping and the famous Amazon guarantee. Couldn't be better.

Update 01.24.2010

One of the 'pencil holders' broke off. The construction is particle board and the screws and adhesive used were just not up to the task of holding the pencil holders on. A little wood glue fixed the problem is a few minutes then allowed to set overnight and wifie still loves it.

Update 07.06.10

I downrated this to a three because now, seven months after I purchased this item, the 'finish' is coming off, exposing the particle board beneath it. If I had it to do all over again I would hae saved time and money and bought one from a local big box store.

I bought 2 of these, one for myself and my wife and we are both pleased with the product. They look nice and so far, after a few months, they have been durable. There is enough room for the laptop plus an external mouse with mousepad, which is exactly what we were looking for.

I am happy with my choice and decision, it is the provider I am upset with. They shipped an item that was obviously damaged while in their possession. The packing was adequate (barely) and there was no damage to the box it came in to suggest that UPS mishandled it. It looks like it was dropped on its corner and, being a laminated ply (no problem with that) the corner is crushed to a small degree. Why didn't I return it? I researched many of these and waited to purchase it when I was certain it was a solid, large (but not to large) and comfortable lap desk that I would use a lot. I use it a lot! To have to deal with any customer service or delays because of the seller's carelessness was just not in the deal. The damage does not cause the desk to be unusable, just a little unsightly.

If someone asked me if they should get it I would say "definitely, but not from this seller".

Overall the product looks good and seems solid. Just sloppy assembly, with screws missing and parts poorly attached. Had to go to hardware store to get screws and tighten up loose parts.
