I bought this laptop desk to use during quarantine/zoom calls with no video as working from home actually means working from the bed to work, and balancing a laptop on your lap can be a little tedious. . It's a lovely side table - solid and smooth, folds out cleanly with no resistance, not too heavy but surprisingly strong. The cup holder is detachable, and the angle of the raised half can be changed with small notches (as in the photo). As you can see, the cup holder fits a standard 24 fl oz Starbucks Venti cup with some room. In general I am very satisfied with the purchase.
