" ... The cushion is also very nice. ... "
" ... Shape allows it to fit close in. ... "
" ... Quality and comfort-wise, this is a good product. ... "
" ... The pad is firm but soft and is comfortable whether my legs are folded in front of me or straight. ... It is easy to pick up and maneuver with the lap top on top of it despite the fact that I have an huge, heavy older lap top. ... "
" ... Good size and much more comfortable than the bean bag style I had. ... "
" ... Great looking and very comfortable on lap. ... "
" ... Keeps stuff from falling into my lap or somewhere into the couch. ... This desk is very comfortable even if you sit curled up (like I always do). ... "
" ... The foam cushioning is comfortable and no heat issues. ... "

" ... This lap desk is just the right size for my laptop and mousepad. ... "
" ... The computer fits just right (no room for a mouse, but again, the computer is huge). ... "
" ... Great lap desk! ... "
" ... The lap desk also accommodates my 17 inch laptop with room to spare for mousing. ... "
" ... This lap top desk pad is wonderful to use. ... "
" ... The lap desk is quite large - more than enough for a 15.6" laptop, and would easily be large enough for a 17.3" laptop as well. ... However, it's not quite large enough to use both a 15.6" laptop and a mouse completely comfortably. ... Another thing to note is that the desk is very smooth and slightly slanted so my mouse tends to slide off unless I'm careful. ... If I use a mousepad that provides some friction the mouse will stay in place just fine, but a standard sized pad may not fit alongside a laptop and may have to be partially underneath of the laptop (which is the case with mine). ... "
" ... Purchased this lap desk to do computer work from my easy chair. ... "
" ... Nice size desk, it fits my lap top perfectly and the memory foam is comfortable. ... I recommend getting a small mouse pad if you plan on using a wireless mouse with this desk. ... "

" ... Like I said, it looks and feels very nice. ... "

" ... The padding is much higher quality than other lap desks. ... "
" ... It isn't too heavy, yet the top surface is very sturdy. ... "
" ... Likes: appears and feels well made, love the light, no beads to fall out, wrist rest and leg pads quite comfortable. ... "
" ... Shape allows it to fit close in. ... "
" ... It's a nice-looking fake wood grain, perhaps like rosewood. ... Its LED is on a flexible gooseneck, so you can bend it to just about any angle. ... "

" ... It's well constructed with a nice lap cushion (not too soft or too firm) that sits comfortably on my lap, and with plenty of space for my 17 inch laptop and mouse. ... "
" ... The last lap desk was just about big enough to fit this laptop. ... All my other lap desks have had bean-bags for padding and they work great for a time. ... "
" ... The padded bottom makes it stable and comfortable and I can slide it out of the way next to my recliner when I'm done working. ... "
" ... Plus nothing slides around. ... "
" ... Have a 17 inch laptop and it is a tight fit. ... "
" ... I wish I could remove the light, which is nice and good quality and replace it with a cup holder. ... Because a cup holder would fit with my laptop. ... But I don't want to pay another $50 for the lap desk I have with a slide out piece that might be too small for me to even use. ... "
" ... The curves fit me securely and the rounded "edges" provide comfort. ... I often put my teacup on my desk and it stays securely in place. ... "
" ... It is not too heavy and fits on my lap very comfortably. ... I use an iPad holder for my iPad and it stays where I want it ... it doesn't slip around on the desk. ... "

" ... It's small, just had enough room for my computer, and had a bag of styrofoam beads. ... "
" ... Lightweight yet lots of surface space to do work. ... "
" ... The work space is also one of the largest available by any manufacturer. ... That extra work space is appreciated by me and my son. ... "
" ... This was a replacement for my old, smaller one that was stuffed with beads or foam or something that kept shifting, so it never sat flat on my lap. ... "
" ... Even when sitting with my legs crossed in my bed, it balances nicely on my lap to provide a great work space. ... "
" ... I like the size (oversized) as it is big enough to keep whatever I am working on organized. ... "
