5.0 out of 5 starsEverything as Advertised and looks good
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2023
Just got it yesterday.
The look of the finish (composite black is the one I chose) is super-cool looking. The wrist rest is not beans but a padding material and feels sturdy like it will last a very long time. There IS a piece of MDF (most likely) underneath the pad which I can feel if I'm feeling around for it, but we'll see if it protrudes over time from beneath the padding and becomes noticeable to my wrist. So far, one single day, it has NOT protruded. That is Good!
The lap pads, one larger than the other so the lap desk tilts back toward you slightly, are filled with what feels like Styrofoam beads. The single-piece fabric on the pads and the entire bottom of the Lap-Desk is of a sturdy cloth material of a weight that feels like it will last. That material with only four seams, is hemmed in around the circumference of the padding bottom cover material with a heavy Cordura style nylon. This looks like something you'd find in a Sharper Image store and feels like it has been well-thought-out, well-researched and improved over time.
The mousepad and the phone cradle are spot on!
I was able to actively monitor and screen my incoming calls while using the computer at the same time, without needing to get up to find my phone, dropping the laptop, dropping my pen into the couch cushion, forgetting my glasses and ultimately losing my mind just before an unsolicited call, appearing as a customer, wastes my time with a robot caller on the other end! (Anecdotal Scenario without this lap-desk)
This thing has proven to be more bang for the buck than I imagined. It's pretty nice!
I would recommend it to my fussiest friends.
You're simply not going to get a Graphite-Composite material, nor a real marble material (nor would you want that weight on your lap) at this price point. So if you get it, don't go complaining that the plastic marble doesn't look like real marble!!! It's FAKE!
If you're practical, Make the purchase. You can't go wrong.
I am please with this purchase.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot as happy with my replacement compared to my previous one
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2023
I've had my other Lapgear lap desk for a quite a few years and the beans completely flattened or disintegrated on the cushioned part. I was afraid to cut it open and try to add more beans and decided it was time for a new one. The measurements stated it would fit my 17" laptop but I was disappointed to see it was a few inches shorter than their previous model which I have had 2 of prior. Now my laptop hangs over the mouse area by at least a half inch or ore which doesn't give me as much room to "mouse."

Additionally the pad side is not the typical mousepad material like my two prior ones. I find that my mouse does not work as well on this material which is disappointing as well. I really don't want to have to move my mouse around even more to get it going where it needs to be. I spend half my day at the computer and I need to move quickly and efficiently.

I can't find any other laptop desks similar to this one - I have looked for a very long time. I don't know if I'm going to keep this or not... my only other option, it seems, is to try to cut mine open, try to refill it with some beans, and see if it's able to be re-sewed which I feel will be a pain in the behind task.

My photos show my new pink one against the old carbon one (please ignore the dog hair which sticks in the mouse pad material), and the 3rd image shows my old one and how completely flat/pancaked it got after a few years of daily use.

I'm just really bummed on the few inches lost as I don't want my laptop hanging off the left side but I eel like I need that room to move my mouse around - as a photographer I use the mouse A TON for editing and having a tiny area to mouse is counterproductive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor design leaves a lot to be desired
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2023
Style: Home OfficeColor: Black CarbonVerified Purchase
This is my second lap desk but first from this brand.
While it gets the job done, it leaves a lot to be desired, namely:
Hurts wrists - The laptop ledge (prevents the laptop from sliding towards you) hits my wrists and causes pain when typing; would be better if it could be removed, even better would better if it was magnetic and could be removed / moved / re positioned
Mouse keeps falling off - While there is a laptop bar, it doesn't have a mouse bar, so it is common for the mouse to slide and fall on to the floor
Gets hot - Even with a cooling pad, I can feel the heat on my legs, thicker insulation is needed
Slides down - Biggest problem is that it doesn't stay put!! The cushion is angled and it tends to slant opposite the laptop ledge and many times I've had to grab my laptop to prevent it from hitting the ground, would be better if the cushion was slanted in the opposite direction, towards the laptop ledge, so that if the laptop slides, it slides towards you and not onto the ground. This could also be easily remedied if it was shorter or came in multiple sizes as I don't think this would be as much of a problem for those who are tall or have long legs as their knees would prevent if from sliding, in my case it extends past the knees so it frequently slides forward when sitting in an upright position

3.0 out of 5 stars Smaller than previous Lapboards
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023
Style: Home OfficeColor: Silver CarbonVerified Purchase
Silly me, I ordered this lapboard without checking the measurements. I previously had a larger LAPGEAR lapboard and presumed this one was the same size. It is ust as wide as previous boards, but isn't as deep. Disapointing, but that's my mistake (which I won't make again). This new design has no wrist pad which allows it to be narrower (and probabbly cheaper to make - more profitable at my expense.)

I am giving LAPGEAR brand boards of this type a mediocre score because the cushions are filled with small plastic foam beads that crush over time. After about 6 months, the cushions gradually collapse/crush down to nothing, and the hard board is now resting on your knees. And there is no way that you can re-fill the cushion bags with new/replacement foam.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea, but I'm having trouble with the mouse pad
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2022
Style: Home OfficeColor: OakwoodVerified Purchase
I finally got one of these because I was using a lap snack tray surrounded by a lip, understandably to keep things from sliding off, but it got in the way of my laptop's power cord and was otherwise not sturdy itself. This is nicer with a mostly flat, smooth, sturdy surface with no lip except for the ledge on the bottom to keep the laptop from sliding off, and the mouse pad on the right side with the slot for the smartphone.

I have a 15-inch Macbook and fits right onto the space aside from the mouse pad, with even an inch of space left. The ledge to keep it from sliding off is fine; I don't find it hugely necessary but doesn't hurt. The cushioning on the bottom for the lap is comfortable; you get warm but not too warm like having the laptop directly on your lap. The laptop itself, and the desk's surface, can still get pretty warm, but that's on any surface and depends on how much you're running on the computer.

So my biggest trouble is the mouse pad. Other reviewers say their mouse still slides off it. They must have a very light and slick mouse if it's rolling over the lip of the mouse pad. My laptop's mouse, on the other hand, sticks heavily to this mouse pad, such that it's even laboring to move it, especially if doing something intense like graphics work. I'm using a Magic Mouse, which is a heavier mouse; another mouse I have is less sticky. But this is a little bit of an issue for me. One easy solution is to flip this lap desk so that the mouse is on flat wood -- and that's great for the Magic Mouse. It's a little stupid that the laptop is then on a bit of an uneven surface with the mouse pad on the left side, but it's manageable. The mouse can slide off the board in this case, so I have to watch to keep it even. I still don't worry about the laptop sliding off. Another solution would be to place a simple normal mouse pad on top of this one, as others have said

I do like the slot holding the cellphone up so I can see the screen and even touch the screen for basic things. So, so far I'm flipping this lap desk back and forth as needed.

Another note about the mouse pad: I have long arms, so I'm often pushing my mouse a little over the top lip, and the bottom of the mouse pad is hard to move over especially with the stickiness. (Whereas I'm fine with the positioning of the keyboard.)

So all in all, things to bear in mind depending on your mouse and arm length.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit cumbersome

It doesn’t really stay put on my lap unless I’m sitting perfectly upright. I needed it for some work at home following surgery and it didn’t work as good as I expected

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect, just needed the larger version of the LapGear Desk.
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023
Style: Home OfficeColor: Black CarbonVerified Purchase
I recently purchased the LapGear Home Office Lap Desk with Device Ledge, Mouse Pad, and Phone Holder - Black Carbon - Fits up to 15.6 Inch Laptops - Style No. 91588 to replace my old LapGear Home Office Lap Desk. Unfortunately, this version was too small and wouldn't suffice as a replacement. I was shopping for a replacement because the mousepad had become undone, exposing the contents that make the mousepad soft. The materials they use for the gel-mousepad are very sticky and a huge annoyance when you come into contact with it.

This LapDesk is made of quality materials and is very sturdy. The device ledge is a great feature and allows you to keep your laptop, phone and mouse all in one place. The mousepad also has a nice feel and is large enough for a comfortable mouse experience.

The only downside I found with this LapDesk was the size difference between the 15.6inch and the 17inch version. I ended up returning this to find another 17inch LapGear Desk.

All in all, this LapDesk is a great choice for those looking for an affordable, sturdy and comfortable option. The materials are of good quality, and the features are very useful. I would definitely recommend this LapDesk.

3.0 out of 5 stars Arrived mildly incomplete
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023
Style: Home OfficeColor: OakwoodVerified Purchase
I really like this lap desk, and don't want to send it back because the hassle is almost not worth it. However, the leather type material that is used as a mouse pad arrived peeling up from the desk. There's a whole portion lifted from the glue that will not re-stick when pressed down. Looks like a glue error mistake. I might just super glue it myself, because the gas money isn't worth the trip to the UPS store. Otherwise, this would be a 5 star product for the price.

The laptop section sits over too far, so I have to position the stand off my lap to type on the keyboard. It was my mistake thinking that the phone would stand up in the space so I could conduct Zoom calls while typing. Not functional for me, but a decent product.

3.0 out of 5 stars not much better than a wooden plank on a pillow
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2023
Style: Home OfficeColor: Blush PinkVerified Purchase
laptop slides off if at an incline. the mousepad is a nice touch except it doesn't really function well as a mousepad. i appreciate the fun color but i wish the surfaces overall were more grippy to prevent slipping.

i intended to use it while lying in bed (due to my disability i need to spend a lot of time lying down) with the tray propped at an angle on my knees, but i feel like a regular tray table may've been better due to how there's nearly no traction to the laptop and my mouse can slide if i move at all

3.0 out of 5 stars satisfied with it
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2023
Style: Home OfficeColor: Silver CarbonVerified Purchase
For the money it's perfectly adequate. The built in mouse pad and slot for the phone is nice. The phone slot is pretty shallow so doesn't feel very secure for holding the phone. The cushions on the bottom are pretty flat, not nearly as full as in the pictures so it doesn't give as much height or create as much of an air flow channel as I would like.
