Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great laptop desk

This one just arrived today so I haven't used it extensively but here are my first impressions. Shipping: Shipped fairly quickly and delivered on time. However, it was not packed in a shipping box, it arrived in the usual box you see on the shelf in the store, as shown in the photo. It's fine, I mean it was well packaged and not damaged or anything. But if you live somewhere not so safe I don't know if you would want that on your doorstep. Maybe it's better to go to work or something when you're not at home. Unboxing: I've added a photo with directions and details. It was well packaged and the instructions were very easy to follow. It would have been easier with a friend but I had no problem building it myself. It took maybe 10 minutes or so. Hex key and nut wrench included. You need a Phillips screwdriver. First impressions: I installed it on a Sole F63 treadmill. I was a little worried because he has buttons on his arms and I wanted something that wouldn't get in the way of those buttons. That's why I didn't get the existing platform type, it looked like it had more options. As you can see from the photo it fits perfectly and doesn't interfere with the buttons. He seems very secure and doesn't move at all. The description states that it tilts - I didn't see how it could tilt, although I think that statement is wrong. While this is normal, it works well. Pictured is my 14" computer. I've also tried my 15" Macbook and it fits too, but the mounting strap ONLY fits around, maybe with about an inch of velcro overlap, so not very secure for a large laptop , and with a big computer I will definitely be careful .. deducting 1 star for this reason (see photo) - if all the screws are properly tightened, the tray with the laptop wobbles from right to left.Forward and backward movement is through Tightening the screws allows, however nothing needs to be tightened to allow left to right rocking You can see in my photo that I fixed it by taking a small piece of cardboard from the packaging and attaching it to a small one stuffed - no more moving. However for the price I wouldn't need to stuff cardboard in and it could be secured. I will use the hex key provided for the KEEP EASY ACCESS IN CUP HOLDER - You will need it to raise/lower the height of the platform. The entire attachment is easily attached/removed to/from the treadmill with the included Velcro straps, but is quite heavy (about 8 pounds or so) and uncomfortable. Some people may have trouble doing this on their own. Also note that during the build I can change the order of some steps. I followed them in order and had to disassemble and backup a few to complete them. For example, it's much easier to adjust the width of the support bar to fit the arms of the treadmill without installing the center piece (makes it lighter). However, the instructions say to put it on in the first step. Otherwise the instructions were very simple. I'm not at all worried about walking there with my laptop (although I don't think I would walk there with it).
