Surprisingly sturdy and addresses problems many other laptop table have
So when I first opened the box, I was tentative about how sturdy this table would be because it's made of plastic; however, after locking the legs, the table is pretty sturdy on both hard and soft surfaces. I also lifted the incline part of the table and it actually holds my laptop up, even at the steepest angle available.
To sum it up, I am definitely happy with my purchase for the following reasons:
*The table has a lip that prevents your laptop from sliding down at incline that folds in and out, so you won't have the problem of having to deal with the lip when you're not using your laptop at an incline. Furthermore, for those of you who have headphone jacks in the front of your laptop, this is especially convenient (and this is a problem with a lot of other laptop tables that don't have this feature). Furthermore, the lip has small holes in it so that if you do have a headphone jack in the front of your laptop and you want to use the incline it looks like you might be able to plug in your headphones by running it through the hole into your computer, which is a nice feature.
* The legs lock, so the table wont' collapse like many other laptop tables out there.
* The area where the laptop ought to go has two cooling fans and two lips (the main larger one and a smaller one). This is actually an intelligent design because for laptops that are larger (like mine) you can use the second lip (towards the right) to make sure that the whole entire length of the laptop is being supported/is prevented from sliding.
* The plastic of the entire table is slightly textured to prevent slipping.
*There is a mouse pad surface on the laptop table.
*The "cup-holder" is textured to prevent slipping. I put quotes around cup-holder because it's more like a slightly raised circle of plastic, so I don't know how well that will actually prevent drinks from being knocked over.
*There is a pen holder.
*The legs can be folded under so that you can use the table on your lap. (Although, this advantage seems kind of intuitive).
*The angle of the incline is adjustable.
*I have not tried to use the USB cooling fan, but as far as the previous reviewer's complaint about not being able to close the incline/table when the fan is plugged in, it seems like you could just run the cord around the side of the table rather than behind the incline (unless you have USB ports exclusively on the right side of your laptop).
*There is convenient storage for the USB cord under the table.
Hope that helps! It's definitely the best option on Amazon for the price (and maybe overall).
