A folding lap desk with legs that lock at six different heights, so the surface can meet you sitting upright against a headboard, cross-legged on a bed, or on a couch. Most lap desks give you one angle and one height, which is why they end up unused. The surface is wide enough for a laptop plus a mouse or a notebook, and the legs fold flat for storage under a bed or beside a nightstand. It also works as a small standing riser on a regular desk if you set the legs to their tallest position. It is a light-duty surface, so it holds a laptop and a drink, not a monitor. Best fit: dorm rooms, small apartments, and anyone who works or studies from bed.

Pros

  • Six height settings, so it adapts to sitting upright or cross-legged
  • Wide enough for a laptop plus a mouse or a notebook beside it
  • Legs fold flat for storage under a bed or against a wall
  • Doubles as a low standing riser on a normal desk at full height

Cons

  • It is a light-duty surface, so a monitor or anything heavy is more than the legs are meant to carry

Frequently asked questions

How big a laptop fits?

The surface handles standard 13 to 16 inch laptops with room beside for a mouse. A 17 inch machine fits but leaves little margin.

Can I use it as a standing desk riser?

At its tallest setting it works as a low riser on an existing desk. It is not a full standing desk conversion, more a short lift for a laptop.

Do the legs lock in place?

Yes, each height setting locks. Set both legs to the same notch, since a mismatch is what causes wobble.

How much weight does it hold?

It is designed for a laptop, a book, and a drink. Do not put a monitor or anything heavy on it, since the folding legs are light-duty.
