Good stuff for remote work

I usually don't write reviews when something meets my expectations. But I received this "batch" hoping for the best but not expecting much. I'm not going to get upset about that because let's face it, this is a desk and not a great new pair of shoes. But I'm honestly VERY happy with this little table. Like many adjusting to working from home, I wasn't prepared for the long term. I also needed the flexibility to rearrange my small 'home office' and this desk definitely makes my life easier (and my back hurts less). My 5 stars for legroom would be more if I could because I have to sit for a long time. to extend my legs and I don't have to adjust anything for this, no matter where I climb. Durability only gets 4 stars because the inserts for the cup holder, paper holder and even the USB port slip out so easily that I lost one for the paper holder in transit the first day. This problem is easily solved with some Gorilla Glue (if you know about it). Apart from that, this item is lightweight and durable. Five stars for ease of use. It's also easy to store - fold the legs down at the bottom and it slides easily into tight spaces, which is perfect if you live in a small space like me. I LOVE the USB port feature. It's not good for charging an iPad, but it does keep my phone charged when I'm at work. It's also great with the little USB flashlight that comes with it. I find that a small amount of light is perfectly focused on my laptop screen when my eyes get tired. The only thing about the USB port is that it obviously needs to be plugged into a wall charger. The connection cable is fairly short, and unless you have a wall charger right next to you on your left, it's a good idea to invest in a USB extension cable. The small side drawer is a nice feature. It doesn't hold much, but it's perfect for storing my USB extender and small USB light. It's also the perfect size for some pens/pencils or other small office supplies like letter boxes and markers. I wouldn't use it for paperclips or anything like that because it opens easily and can make a mess in transit. All in all, a great investment in my remote work environment! I also bought one for my high school daughter for her distance learning and she loves it too!
