There is much to say. Good points, delivery swift and gift wrapping in thick gold paper. The ipad lap desk is lightweight, it’s outer coating is non slip. The desk surface is pale wood and lifts off the storage compartment beneath I erroneously though there would be a bean bag to settle into the knees but that was my error. Poor points: the ipad in the slot is vertical and not slanted as one needs. One requires a separate keyboard to type as the on-screen keyboard is inaccessible in the landscape position and the same applies to the home button in portrait mode. But ... It makes an excellent tray. If the desk top is inverted the recessed groove becomes a firm ledge to rest books or crosswords etc. If the slot is not used for ipad, it is handy to store pens, earphones etc. I am now using it with my ipad in a stand/cover which enables typing at the correct angle and the thickness of the whole lap desk raises the screen to a more comfortable position . I advise buyers to check all the photos and descriptions to confirm it will suit their needs. All in all I am very pleased .
