This desk is nicely made and they thought of everything. Unfortunately, it is way too big for me and uncomfortable to use.It does what it's supposed to do.I bought this lap desk because I have chronic health issues and I work on my bed sometimes due to pain and discomfort. My laptop gets hot if I don't have a lap desk between the device and my comforter.It turns out that this is such a great little lap desk! It's the perfect size for my laptop, without a lot of wasted space making it bulky.I love the storage space! It's quite a bit more roomy then I'd envisioned. I have learned that if my device gets warm it could melt my chocolate bar stash that I hide inside though.My husband admired my lap desk so much that he asked for one, so I ordered another. He was really pleased that his laptop fits inside.So whether you want the lap desk for more practical reasons or you want it for aesthetic reasons and to store your snack or candy stash for easy access while you work, this will do the trick!CON: The magnets are too weak to hold the top in place well, and there is barely enough room for all my accessories to fit once the laptop is in the bag.PRO: I do like being able to sit my laptop and bag on my lap without the fear of it overheating. (I use a wrist pad because the edges of the wood are a bit rough on the skin when typing.)This is a nice idea…just needs a bit more room and security when closing and it would be an awesome bag.Best choice for the price. The mouse pad is kinda cheap.I wanted a halfway decent laptop pad with storage, and not too big; this fits the bill, and it wasn't too expensive. The lid isn't quite flat, so I have to turn it upside down to keep if from wobbling. I kind of wish the lid were hinged, but I can do that myself if I want to. So maybe it isn't perfect, but it'll do.This lap desk has pretty much every feature I was looking for. I needed it for coloring so I needed enough workspace for 8/12 x 11 sheets and it has that. It also has plenty space to store my coloring sheets but not coloring pencils or markers. It has a cushion so it elevates it making it easier on my neck and lap. Plus it’s cute BUT it’s just flimsy. I carried it by the handle (also a plus to have) and after taking a couple of steps, everything fell out. Papers everywhere. The lid just popped off even though the corner fasteners were still in place after everything fell out which tells me they don’t secure anything. So disappointed. If it has storage space but the stuff that’s stored can’t be secured when handling, it’s kinda pointless to me. It’s going backThe lap desk is nice but the storage is almost non-existent, barely holds a notepad and I wouldn't trust even that wouldn't fall out when carrying it by the handle. Storage security needs to be improved.
