You can also easily work on some papers in bed. The surface is not slippery so your laptop will sit nicely on it. Though it also has baffles additional support. 

Another convenient feature is the built-in big fan underneath the desk. You don’t have to purchase a separate small cooling fan to increase your laptop’s temperature. And it also operates quietly.

The entire unit feels sturdy and it’s pretty to adjust. And since it’s 360 degrees rotatable you can find your best angle for your neck and shoulders.

I find this brand sturdier than other brands of a foldable standing desk. But you do have to be careful when placing it on top of a hard surface. It might tend to slide.

It can fairly be high enough for those who have average height. But if you stand 6 feet you might find it lacking. Also, the mouse plate can be set to one height only. So another limitation for those who are taller. 

The stand is more secure than the competitors, but it can wobble a bit when you’re typing with the desk placed on the floor. It’s sturdy but it’s not rock solid. But if you’re going to place it on top of a table or use it on your bed, it’s rather stable. 

Overall, it’s fairly decent and can be used by short or average-sized users. And it’s best for those with a light to medium typing style. As with all other brands, it’s advisable not to put too much weight on the desk, especially if you’re going to place it on top of the floor.

It’s also multipurpose. It can be used to write on, read books, or even serve as a breakfast tray. It’s not the most sturdy, but it does what it’s intended to. One of the advantages of this foldable standing desk is that it’s the most viable desk solution when you’re in bed.
