Pluses: +++ First and foremost, the mouse tray can be attached to the support arms, so you can set it to an ergonimic height. (I'm not a fan of touch pads on laptops, so this is key for me.); ++ Extremely configurable for a wide variety of heights, angles and circumstances, and quite stable when set up properly; ++ Legs are spaced far enough apart to allow sitting in bed with the product's legs straddling your own legs; ++ Numbered markings by each adjustable hinge make it easier to recreate your favorite configurations.Minuses: --- The two built-in cooling fans. I consider such fans unnecessary to begin with (if your laptop can't cool itself with its own fan, you've got a lousy laptop), but was willing to buy this product anyway because of the low price compared to comparable products. Since I was stuck with them, though, I figured I'd plug them into my laptop's USB port and try them out. They turn out to be VERY noisy, producing a low-pitched hum that can't be ignored unless you have music playing through earbuds to override it. As I said, I don't think they're necessary, so I simply don't plug them in, but they do add considerable weight to what would be an otherwise lightweight product. -- While each individual hinge is easily adjustable, the table as a whole is awkward to set to a new configuration because you can only adjust one hinge at a time. It would be MUCH easier if you could loosen and lock the hinges in pairs simultaneously. -- While the numbered markings by each hinge do facilitate recreate your favorite configurations, they have some issues: 1) The numbering is the same on either side of zero degrees, so even if you know your configuration called for a setting of, say, 15 degrees, you can't tell whether to turn the leg 15 degrees to the left or right. Such a basic flaw that could have been easily remedied! 2) The pointer on the hinge adjustment button is difficult to see, as it's just a shallow impression in the button with no color differentiation. 3) There's enough "play" in the leg that even when you think you have the pointer set to the right number, it can click into locked position one setting over from what you wanted.Originally I gave it 1 star for the top being assembled incorrectly. I returned the item and they replaced it within 24 hours so I'm very happy with it. I would say yes it could be heavier and more sturdy, but it functions for what I need it too. Also leaving off a star because the mouse pad holes do not line up with the screw without it coming into conflict with the leg of the laptop so you have to turn it at an angle and it's just poorly placed hole.My husband purchased this for me after researching laptop tables and stands. I had been having severe neck/headaches daily for many months; this stand has helped so that I rarely now have a neck/headache. Both the table and the legs are adjustable to several positions; it takes two hands to adjust it. It seems quite durable. I use it while sitting at a table or in my recliner. It works better at a table. In my recliner, the softness of the cushion (as I move around on it) will occasionally cause the legs to need to be reset. It is a minor inconvenience and easy enough to correct. I have been using this for several months for many hours a day, it continues to work well. I spend many hours a day on my computer, reading, or writing using it. I highly recommend it. Hope this is helpful.it does its job as it says, it can hold weight well and if place in the right positions can do its job just fine. The problem is getting to that position, the buttons to move the arms are very hard and tend to get stuck once pressed. Had to hit it multiple times trying to get the buttons unstuck. This constantly happens. Also once the buttons finally come loose usually on their own since hitting usually doesn't work, it makes a loud clap sound for the whole house to hear. This is also constant with every button making this sound. Product works just need to fix these issues that are very annoying.I really enjoy my portable laptop table. Once I got used to the the way the adjustable legs worked, setting up my desk was a breeze. I have used it for my MacBook and now as a stand for a midi keyboard in my studio. The front ridge of the platform is the perfect height to keep most devices from sliding off. The USB powered fan is an added bonus! An overall great product.I use this desk every day. It is very adaptable to every conceivable height and comfort level. The cooling fan is a nice addition, for hotter running computers. My only complaint is that the mouse tray is thin and only attached by one bolt, therefore bounces unless propped up underneath (I place books under it). Overall, I am quite happy with the desk.Not quite as study as I hoped, but I got around that by using a Bluetooth keyboard under the stand. The angle degree markings on each adjustment point make it easy to keep the sides even. That also makes it easy to keep my laptop extension level with my second monitor screen. I haven't used the mouse attachment because it's easy enough to keep the mouse next to the Bluetooth keyboard instead of level with the laptop. Also haven't used the fan but have had no problem with overheating. My laptop is 15 inches and the stand is plants big enough for it.This is great for using a laptop while sitting in a recliner or sofa in the living room. It is adjustable to many heights and angles and very sturdy when the legs are locked into place. The only issue I have is not the fault of the product but I cannot attached the mouse pad holder when I am sitting in my recliner as the armrest is in the way. However, I use the mouse pad holder separately on the arm of the recliner and that works fine. I have not used the fans as I feel no heat on my lap while using this table. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.
