Review on SONGMICS Large Bamboo Bed Tray with Tilting Top, Drawer, and Right-Left Handed Laptop Desk by Mike Hicks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent table, a flaw or omission in the design but overall highly recommended

Excellent table. The legs are adjustable in three heights. Overall, it makes a solid and functional impression. I like that he respects that leftists are people too. There is a concave on the left for drinks they should have left. It's not big enough for anything bigger than soda cans (stowed in the bottom of the base). Not suitable for coffee mugs, travel mugs, any of those reusable plastic vacuum mugs with a straw (like you can get at Starbucks). This generally renders the top left third of the left surface useless for anything that needs balancing. However, I keep my TV remote in there, so it's not empty space, just limited use. One obvious mistake or omission: the legs don't lock. They protrude quite a bit above the surface of the table so it doesn't fall on my head, but if I just want to pick it up and move it I need to get everything off of it because my hands need to be free. Throw off your legs if they get caught on a ceiling or something else. You will find the same problem with cheaper TV tablets. Fit a manufacturer's lock hardware, it may not cost that much, and you'll save yourself a lot of spills and other accidents if you do. I go to the hardware store, I'm sure I can find a fastener that will fit, but I paid $40 for it. From a consumer perspective, I can fix this (not everyone has those technical skills), but I don't really need it. Locked stability is a significant "nice to have", if not an important feature to include.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • Nothing here
