Wobbly and a pain to wheel around
I was really excited to receive this desk so I could sit on my couch and use my laptop. I know it’s called a LAPtop but my legs always get hot from using the laptop on my lap so I decided to shop around for a laptop table.
The item arrived on time and was as described.
My first impression was:
1. It was a pain to assemble (so my husband says) because there were so many pieces. (He’s not a dummy when it comes to this kind of stuff so don’t assume the worst lol)
2. It felt cheap — the plastic, the wood and just the overall look of the table. I know it was only like $35, maybe I was expecting too much.
3. You could adjust it but the shortest height it would go down to was still higher than I wanted it to be. I like to lay on the couch and use my laptop but I could not do that with this table b/c it didn’t go down far enough. I had to angle the tilt of the table the furthest it would go to be able to see the screen.
4. Whenever I typed on my laptop while on the table the table would constantly go up and down and wobble. It was so annoying that I ended up just using my laptop on my lap. We checked all the screws and nuts and bolts to make sure everything was as tight as it should be and they were. This was just a wobbly table.
5. The bast of the table is rather large so whenever I rolled it anywhere I had to make sure I wasn’t running into things. My idea of a laptop table would be one that has a smaller base to manuever easily.
I will say, however, the table did function well as a side table for drinks and such.
I ended up getting the Furinno Adjustable Vented Laptop Table and I am LOVING it. Smaller profile and so much easier to move around. This one wobbles ever so slightly, hardly noticeable at all AND it comes in fun colors 🙂 The joints seem sturdy and I like the push-button way of adjusting the legs. They even have handy #’s on them so you get both joints adjusted at the same #.
