I bought this to use as a mini office. I like that the arm swivels out 360° and is height adjustable. I just wish it was manufactured with either the option to mount the arm on the other end, or a version of the desk w/other side mounting was available for purchase.
My setup is like this: seating to the left, desk to the right (lengthwise) along my wall. If I only swivel the laptop 90° its okay, despite the neck pain from turning to my right for hours on end.
But if I need to swivel the laptop 180(ie, to give my neck a break and position the laptop right over my lap), then I have to rotate the entire desk so the back is against my chair and the front/magazine holder thing is facing the wall.
I wish they sold a model with the arm on the magazine holder side because it would work better for me, personally.
Aside from that, I didnt have any issues w/missing or damaged parts. Its cheap pressed wood or particle board so I dont think its worth the $120 price tag (the Prime Day $29 savings is BS; I bought this in April for $120. Youre literally saving $5 lmao) but all the pieces are thick heavy so I dont think its going to fall apart.
Ive had a 17 laptop on this since April, sometimes with a 32 oz Hydroflask as well have had no issues of the arm slipping retracting or flopping down.
Actually, once my cat jumped on my laptop and her weight did cause the laptop desk arm to slope down. I freaked, thinking my expensive laptop was going to kiss the floor, but the bumpers on the front and back of the laptop desk kept my laptop secure, even though it was now sloped at a 30 angle.
Okay. I wish the arm was on the other side.
