I just grabbed this. It looks great and they used a proper wood (cherry). Do remember that natural cherry darkens over time (especially in sunlight). I have a bedroom and kitchen all in natural cherry, and almost all of it is a rich, dark red color now. If you buy it stained dark red, that is the color it will always be, and it is difficult to match. The natural colors with age and it all blends together beautifully over time. If you compare the natural after ten years in a sunny room and the dark stained, you will always want the richness of the natural that has aged into a perfect red hue.
I'm really glad I bought it because it looks great. I took some reference photos for people asking about laptops:
Here it is at medium inclination. The grain looks nice and the stand is perfect for holding sheet music, lecture notes, electronics. The drawer has a black velvet lining that's great for your precious pretty things or reading glasses. The laptop in the second photo is a 13" macbook air and the stand is perfectly capable of holding up something more substantial if you're into that.
I have the one you linked, and while beautiful and well made, it is small, heavy and awkward for the lap. Also a little too shallow for inkwells of most sizes.
EarthnurseI'm actually not sure why it's called a `lap' desk ... they were not meant to be used as such. You'd use them to carry around writing essentials, but they were still meant to be placed on a normal desk, providing you with a writing slope.
Took receipt of mine yesterday and am using it on my desk at work.
Seems to hold my Dell e7280 ultralight fine and has just big enough of a footprint for the laptop.
This is set at the largest angle and is still a little low to look at the middle of the screen without looking down.
ChurchillWI am looking for a travel case for my laptop. But I am wondering if the drawers can hold a small keyboard and wires. You seem to use this similarly... what is your experience?
DatvidYou might be able to fit a TKL mechanical keyboard if it doesn't have arrow keys, but I don't think you could fit anything bigger. I have a full size keyboard connected to my laptop that would definitely would not fit.
I don't carry this around it just sits on my desk at work. I would also not carry this around too much at it is big enough to be cumbersome IMO.
This "Campaign Lap Desk" is one I'm considering. It looks like the writing area would be large enough to actually be useful. The gap would be an issue, so you would need to use notebooks or journals that have hard covers so you could write without hitting that space between the sections.
seahunterNice,
I love tinkering in my workshop and this would be something nice to make. I recently bought some antique, broken down furniture just to get a hold of old wood since, yes we are at that point, new wood of that quality is extrodinarily expensive. I,d love to get a sense of the measurements and angles if you'd be up to it?
Question: I’m looking for a stand with an incline to write on. At first blush this looks ideal, but the lip at the bottom worries me. Would it be possible to use this to write in my notebooks with, or is it more for display than direct usage?
BadMinotaurThink it might be a little tough to write on when you get to the bottom of the page, but I guess it depends on thick your notebook is too. I'm also not sure how much pressure you would be exerting on the elevated part of the stand when pressing down to write.
BadMinotaurBadMinotaur: Search for "Editor's Desk" on Amazon or the web. You'll find what you're looking for. I have one—bought it from Levenger, years ago—and I do all my writing on it.
I have two Cubi bookcases and I really like them. I would have loved it if this stand could have functioned as a drawer, however it's too wide. The space on top of my bookcases, and pretty much everywhere else on my desk is already spoke for, so I'm SOL on this one.

TomaCzarI'd give you what you paid for the cubi stand, if you want to be rid of it... :)
