I bought this for my husband for Christmas. He loved it. He treated it like gold. He hasn't even had it a month and the hinges have fallen apart. Like I said, he treated this thing VERY well. Its not like he's two and beat the thing up. I think with normal wear and tear the darn thing should last longer than a month. Without a doubt this is the worst thing I have EVER bought on Amazon.com. Don't waste your money.

The only thing I don't like is minor; the hinges for the lid show on top, they are not hidden underneath. This can cause scratches on my laptop computer. Other than that the quality is very nice, it is a good size and has a roomy compartment. I love it!

The lap desk is of good quality and very comfortable to use. Only problem is the bracket that holds the top open broke the first time I even opened it. The screws just popped right out. I was shocked since it's not a cheap purchase.

I received this desk as a gift so I would have a nice lapdesk for my super hot running laptop.
It is sturdy, the laptop does not slide off, it had hiding places for your stuff. All in all really cool.
However, I found that if I had any external items plugged into the laptop (phone, external drive, etc) while there was great storage for the items inside the storage compartment there was no where to run the wires!
I decided I liked the desk enough to have my husband use a dremmel to cut a small crescent out of the top of the storage compartment dividers where simply having the lid closed hides the cut outs completely.
We found some stain in the garage that was so close to the original color of the desk it almost looks like it came with the cutouts.

It is now officially perfect.

Some people will find it a tad heavy once you add your laptop, but I don't. I love the old school pencil holder at the top.

This is a beautiful piece and seems to be of good quality. I find it a little heavy for me (senior). My issue with it is that my first one came with a big staple right in the middle of the lid. I returned that one and asked for a replacement. The replacement came in with a scratch on the lid. I just kept it, rather than going through the trouble of returning it. So, if you want to give this as a gift or want a perfect item, beware.

I love this lap desk. I love the storage. I keep bills inside and use it to write out checks ect on it. Its great

I love this thing! My wife got it for me for Christmas, and I am really impressed. Very well made, attractive, and plenty of room inside for paper, pens, etc. Will make letter-writing much easier.

I just love this old school lap desk. It really does look like the old fashioned desks we had in school. The overall size is great; I sometimes use my laptop on it and my laptop is 17" wide. I also use it for doing my bills and overall correspondence. The inside is equally spacious. The picture of it on Amazon.com is very accurate because there's loads of storage room. The lap desk is very sturdy and you'll be pleased at the quality of the wood used as well as the lid hinge.

This is a handy dandy item to have even if you don't use it all of the time. I highly recommend it and if you can afford it, buy one or more as gifts!!

I don't know how I missed the other reviews on this item but I sure wish I had read them. I knew I was going to be disappointed when I lifted the box and felt how light it was. I could tell this was not built out of a quality wood. When I open the lid the tray wobbled because the hinge screws are not completely tightened. Then it hit me and I knew I paid a lot of money for junk. Just to confirm my stupidity I flipped it over and found what I was looking for, the made in China sticker. I'll use this thing until it breaks (which I'm sure won't be long) then I'll have to start my search again. I'm so sad our country is so inundated with crappy foreign made junk. Enough said.

This lap desk is almost perfect. It's comfy, has great storage space, and is very attractive. Perfect for handwriting space. Not so great for a laptop because it makes the laptop too high. Of course, that could be because I'm short. A taller person may be comfortable using a laptop with it.
