When the description says it's big enough for a 17" laptop I assumed that meant full access to the mouse pad but Unfortunately, this is not the case. Can I put a 17 inch laptop on it? Yes. Can the mouse pad on the side still be used? no I would say it's perfect for a 15 inch laptop but not perfect for a 17 inch laptop. For the price, it's still good value, but I don't think it's worth saying it supports a 17-inch laptop. I returned it and bought a bamboo desk with holes in it - it was big enough for my laptop and mouse.
