Old School Mahogany Wooden Lap Desk

UPDATE 12/05/09 -Since I wrote this review, I have had to have my husband replace the hinges because the screws came separated from the wood. It was a relatively easy fix (particularly for me!) but it does affect my impression on the build quality of this desk.

I originally bought this lapdesk for work because I wanted something that would fit on my keyboard tray to accommodate my ergonomic keyboard. One of the things I really have found useful about the tray is having the ability to flip the top up (like an old school desk -thus the name!) and stash extra pens, notebooks, and change for the vending machines (I have to have my Mtn Dew during the day).

This desk also looks very nice compared to most. It is more narrow than most which is either a good thing or bad thing depending on your needs. For me it is a good thing because it fits in smaller places (like a keyboard tray or a reasonably narrow chair). If you are using it for a laptop, it is a perfect size.

The other thing I like using this lapdesk for is for reading my Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device (9.7" Display, U.S. Wireless, Latest Generation). I use my Kindle with the M-Edge Platform Genuine Leather Kindle DX Jacket (Fits 9.7" Display, Latest Generation Kindle DX), Pebbled Navy so that I am able to stand up the Kindle for hands-free reading.

However, if you want something that will accommodate both a keyboard and a mouse, then you will probably find the size a bit frustrating.

Finally, in terms of construction -while it looks nice, it is a composite wood with a laminate veneer. As such, if you bang a corner, it will definitely give you an unpleasant-looking "bulge" where the layers of the composite material expand. However, pretty much any wooden lapdesk will do the same.

Overall, I like this because it is different and more classic looking and has more functionality than your average lapdesk. It provides a solid base and is better balanced than wider lap desks. However, if you need something that will accommodate a keyboard plus a mouse, this isn't going to be the best choice for you.

It made a great gift. I got one for my husband and my father-in-law; they both use them daily.

I purchased the lapdesk from this company but when I opened it, it had damaged corners. The wood was even split. I never bothered to send it back due to the hassel that is. This company does not inspect its own itmes, but should.

I am impressed with the quality and usefulness of this Lap Desk. The large storage compartments are useful for keeping supplies organized, and can hold a large amount of supplies. I am very impressed that this model can hold all of my study supplies, so that I don't have to hunt for supplies as I need them. Getting organized has greatly improved my study time and I like the idea of all my supplies in one convenient place. Also something I like to note is that the felt lining prevents the items from rolling around to much which is very nice. Lap desks are a valuable study aid by providing a portable writing surface for the user to study from any where they are comfortable, and keeping all supplies and books together as needed. This is a great gift for any student or aspiring artist to have. This is a lap desk you will be proud to own and use for years to come.
