ROSSIE HOME Acacia Wood Easel Lap Desk with Storage - Java - Fits up to 17.3 Inch Laptops - Style No. 76501

This thing is awesome! I had a wooden one with a storage compartment, and after 25 years of daily use, it finally died last week. I can’t work without a lapdesk so I looked all over the internet. None of them were as good! Most aren’t made with real wood, and you can either have a large one or one with a storage compartment but not both. Then I found this one and bought it. This is even better than my last one! The hinge is attached in several places, making it very sturdy. They didn’t skimp on putting enough stuffing in the underside pillow like some of them do, it’s very well filled out, comfortable, and made with a nonslip material. And the best part is, the storage compartment is HUGE! It’s three times the size of my last one! The compartment is nice and deep so you can fit a lot of stuff in it. The surface is very smooth and well sanded down so there are no snags, rough, or uneven areas on the surface. The tilt of the board is easy to work and adjustable, but I don’t really need it for that; however, if I ever do need it, it works great. My only complaint is that I wish this lapdesk was much bigger. I’m sure a normal person would find the size more than adequate, but for me, bigger is better because I usually have my 17” laptop and/or 13” iPad, mouse, and an A4 size book open that I’m trying to write in. Because I don’t need the tilt feature, I keep it turned around so that the stop is farther away from me, I just kind of find it gets in the way of my wrist when I’m writing at the bottom of a page. My last lapdesk had a stop as well, and I used it upside down, too. The top has to open at the other end of the stop for the tilt feature to work so when it’s upside down, I can open the surface to get into the compartments more easily. All in all, this is a really solid lapdesk that’s very high quality. The wooden top has a good amount of thickness to it, and this thing feels solid. If you ever decide to make a giant sized version of this lapdesk, let me know because I’m gonna buy it, too!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very neat for working in bed or on the sofa.

Nice lap desk. Pretty, quality wood and workmanship.

This thing is sturdy and almost perfect for my needs, but I didn’t anticipate how heavy it is, and I wanted to store it on its side next between my chair and side table. My arthritis does not allow me to just grab it and pull it to my lap, so I added my own handle. My work is not pretty. I used webbing and small nails…screws would not go in all the way. I find it much easier to move, and the magnets on the inside of the lid are plenty strong to keep it shut.

I didn't realize this hand a pillow top bottom on it that cannot be removed. Was looking for one without pillow bottom. But this is nice, well made, attractive, quality look. Wish the inside compartment had a smaller pencil/eyeglass section and larger main compartment. Works very well on the lap with the pillow top. Perfect height for lap work.

I wanted a laptop desk to use while sitting in the family room. The challenge was to find one that looked premium and would match our furniture and dark wood finishes since I would keep it out and in use frequently. I also wanted to have one with a tilt/adjustable surface. This Rossie Home product was perfect. I chose the dark finish which went well with our furniture and blends in nicely when left sitting on coffee table, etc. Again - It is so nice looking, I keep it out all the time and ready for use. A few things to mention. The tilt feature is well thought out. Has adjustable / tilt metal stand inside that is held in place with a magnet when closing the lid. The work surface has a small horizontal fixed wooden edge to prevent the laptop from sliding toward you - helpful when using the tilt adjustment. It works, but personally I find it is uncomfortable and hits my wrist when typing. I've gotten use to that issue. However I have found I do not use the tilt feature so I just flip the desk round so the ledge is on the other side facing away. That actually prevents the laptop from sliding forward and off the surface - fall to the floor. I still open the top ledge and store notes, pens and laptop / iPad charge cable inside. Although the dividers do not adjust, they are nicely placed and give good useable space - capable of holding journal book, etc. We also ordered the Rossie Home "trays" with detachable pillow to use while eating not he sofa. They are the same dark color and same fabric as on this laptop desk's pillow. It is nice to have premium wood products that match and you will be proud to keep them out for use and displayed proudly. One final thought - yes, as others have observed, the desk unit is heavy. It is completely wood, including the bottom box section for storage. Although manageable, I have found it best to not weigh it down with unnecessary, heavy items inside the storage area and for me, I don't place the my laptop on the desk when I grab it to use. Save the weight - sit with the desk first, then grab the laptop from table or sofa/chair next to you and place on the desk after it is in your lap. That saves several pounds of weight in the process. I use a 2022 MacBook Air and find it fits nicely and give enough space to still add a small note pad to the side if needed (or perhaps a mouse if that is your preference. Bottom line, great product, hard to find premium finish and look, good use options (can be used as laptop desk, or tray for eating), slightly heavy, but would still buy again and again.

Great product and shipping
