How does it work?
This bamboo tabletop, which is reportedly just as solid as wood, can hold any laptop (or breakfast spread!) Easy to move and store, this laptop desk has adjustable legs for a customized experience.

Available in both black and natural, it has folding legs, meaning you can store it in tight spaces.
What people are saying
With a 4.5 star rating and more than 1,200 customer reviews, this product is perfect for anyone working from home or studying from bed.
“I was in need of a lap desk for a while now and when I saw this I thought it was perfect. Made from sturdy bamboo, I was sure it would be really nice and last for a very long time. I love to draw, doodle, paint, etc. I'm not always near my desk with an active kiddo so it had to be portable and not extremely heavy. When I opened it I took note of how well constructed it seems, the top is smooth and the legs are sturdy,” reads one review.
“Amazing quality and exactly as pictured. I love the fact that the stand for the laptop lifts, or I can put it down and use it as a regular table. I like studying on my bed so this was perfect for me to use,” adds another.
Loved for its versatility among workers, students and artists alike, the one piece of feedback is that the drawer needs to be bigger to be more functional.
“The drawer is very small and not all that practical, but it'll hold several pens/pencils, eraser and a pencil sharpener, but this doesn't really concern me. The overall quality of this desk is very good,” says one customer.
“The only downfalls are that the drawer is too small to hold much, and the guard that holds my laptop sits a little high so it’s a little uncomfortable for my wrist at times,” adds another.
The verdict
Whether you’re treating a loved one to breakfast in bed, or taking your morning meetings from the couch, this multi-functional desk is perfect for anyone self isolating. However, if you’re looking for a desk with additional storage, this may not be for you as the drawer is only large enough to hold pens, pencils and smaller accessories.
