Just so ya'll know...
The desk arrives COMPLETELY disassembled, which means that even the brackets that support the desktop must be attached by the buyer.
IMHO, it is a pain to assemble, especially if you have arthritis, since the bolts are blunt with a hexagon-shaped hole in the top.
These bolts must be screwed down into a plastic plug in the bottom of the desktop. The manufacturer includes a tiny little allen wrench for this purpose.
After some effort and frustration, we ended up going to a hardware store to buy a ratcheting nutdriver with a 5/32" hexhead tip, which made assembly much easier.
The shape of the legs ( the same four point style as a hospital bedside tray table) will NOT work with a regular recliner chair, or a sofa that is very close to the floor.
However, I believe that this desk would work next to the bed for either a laptop, a book, or a meal.
The finish on the desktop is a little rough on the edges, but very nice on the flat surface.
The completed desk seems sturdy and fairly stable.
Overall, it's a pretty good desk, much better than the wooden folding one that we initially purchased. That one lasted less than a month.
Rating:  - Very useful desk
I'm very happy with this desk. It's the perfect solution for a small space and it makes a great team together with a laptop and a comfortable chair.
Rating: - Nice desk
When I first got the desk, I was very disappointed because it was bent and it was a little scratched.I gave it a very poor rating.
I called the vendor and after speaking with customer service, they sent me out a new unit because it must have been damaged in shipping.Their customer service was very friendly and did not give me a hard time about replacing the desk.
The new unit came and I am pleased with it.It looks nice and my 17" widescreen laptop fits on it just perfectly.I keep it with my favorite chair and the whole setup looks modern.I used to get a lot of back aches using my laptop without the desk.Now I am very comfortable as I put in long hours studying.
I would recomment this product.
Rating:  - do not buy furniture without seeing
The big hole on the steel plate that passes through the cross bar is not cut right. I cannot screw in the adjuster handle through the tilt-adjusting gap.
Based on other people's review, I think it's probably only mine. I do not want to go through returning this and mine will just sit in the corner of my room until I get a grinder or some similar tool. Should've gone to Ikea...
Rating: - Poor quality, not worth the money.
This item is of poor quality. I wonder how other reviews are talking about a nice wooden cherry finish. The finish is as cheap as it can be.
Don't expect a real wood finish, it is not. It will dissolve most likely
after a short period of time as it is a synthetic finish with artificial texture. In my case it already came with blisters and scratches. I hardly dare to touch it as it could be further damaged easily. Moreover, there are plastic threads incorporated into the desk, one of which was self-rotating such that I could not tighten the screw.
I will return this item to the sender immediately.
Not worth to spend $10 for it.
