Review on Armrest Drinks Remote Control Snacks Furniture by Dominique Robinson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great in theory but not in action :(

It's well built and the concept is SO close to a home run. With a few small tweaks in future iterations this thing could be amazing! ok"as it is, but it could be much better. Two key points are missing: the addition of two different silicone/non-stick surfaces: inside the shell and on the contact surfaces of the clamp arms. This will improve the grip of the clamp and prevent objects from slipping.The gripping arms desperately need more contact area on the clamps, which pivot.Also consider the adjustable rails on the bottom of the tray to adjust the arm width (to accommodate different thickness sofa/chair armrests.) Any weight thing. The actual clamping surfaces that are in contact with your sofa/chair are smooth plastic with small V-shaped protrusions cuts that only "pretend" to capture. I understand why it's not more aggressive - they didn't want to risk tearing the furniture. A stronger grip could surely be achieved if the silicone surface could stick to the fabric. Stronger springs would also hardly be an option. 3 stars mainly because it's a very smart idea, it just needs to be implemented better.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Drives me nuts
