The package arrived damaged, and FedEx made a note about it, but the product was undamaged. This is a great value for the money but there are (IMO) some downsides. First, this pad is THICK! a quarter inch thick to be exact. Too thick for my liking but for 14 bucks I will live with it. Secondly, this is felt backed and if your desktop is smooth (most are, eh?) then this will easily slide on the desk. It needs to have a grippy backing, not felt.

Other than that a very nice looking desk pad.

I have a few antique pieces that I would like to add to an estate sale of a reputable estate auction company.?
I live in St. Louis, MO. Any suggestions from mahogany desk people with experience with this kind of thing would be gratefully appreciated.I have four Barrister bookcases, a huge African Mahogany dining table with ten matching chairs, a solid wood cherry executive desk, a mahogany bedroom set with two twin bed frames and two dressers plus a few other pieces.

  1. We had been searching for a affordable wood desk tray, found these on the internet. Was very pleased with the purchase. They were of good quality and served our needs. I would like to have seen them come with hardware to stack but the trays were great.

  2. I ordered this lap desk with the belief I could get it before Christmas. Only to find out that ” Proceed to Checkout” created the order with Ground shipping the only option. When I e-mailed customer service (no phone number) I was told “No, the delivery time to your location is 3-4 business days.”

    I WILL NEVER ORDER A PRODUCT FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN

  3. So many uses! I love it! It also helps keeps me warm on cold nights. It is spacious and non-slip, as well as easy to store.

  4. I bought 2 of these, one for myself and my wife and we are both pleased with the product. They look nice and so far, after a few months, they have been durable. There is enough room for the laptop plus an external mouse with mousepad, which is exactly what we were looking for.

  5. Bought this for the wifie. She’s a teacher and does a lot of homework and loves being able to sit on the sofa and hold all she needs on this large and well made lap desk. The storage areas are adequate for pencils and such, not much more, and the desk is easy to position to the right angles for writing or holding her laptop. Quick shipping and the famous Amazon guarantee. Couldn’t be better.

    Update 01.24.2010

    One of the ‘pencil holders’ broke off. The construction is particle board and the screws and adhesive used were just not up to the task of holding the pencil holders on. A little wood glue fixed the problem is a few minutes then allowed to set overnight and wifie still loves it.

    Update 07.06.10

    I downrated this to a three because now, seven months after I purchased this item, the ‘finish’ is coming off, exposing the particle board beneath it. If I had it to do all over again I would hae saved time and money and bought one from a local big box store.

  6. I actually purchased this desk directly from [...] (through Amazon.com) because it was about $20.00 cheaper. The desk is pretty solid and enough space for all of my computer peripherals and more. It took a little over an hour to assemble myself, but would have likely easier with an additional pair if hands.

    I was worried that the bolts would be cheap aluminum, as I have experienced with other desks, but to my surprise everything was solid.

  7. This computer table was much better than I expected. Nice stainless steel hardware, easy to assemble and very sturdy. I was very pleased with the overall quality and value.

  8. This desk looks great and has alot of desktop space. Just received it last night and it was very easy to install. Took me over 3 hours but I was doing it by myself and decided not to use an electric screwdriver to prevent overtightened screws or damages, yes call me cautious :P

    Anyway, the thing that impressed me from beginning to end for the installation was the well packaged parts and especially very well-labeled parts leading to major ease of installation. The instruction manual is very well-detailed and points out exactly which part number and screw number to use at each step. Very idiot-proof in my opinion. All pieces arrived in great condition. The keyboard plank had a minor scratch on the rear surface but nothing to really upset me about. One screw did not have its head indented properly so I couldn’t use the Phillips screwdriver but thank goodness a bag of spare screws was included for each of the approximate 8 screw types. This is a nice luxury I rarely see other manufacturers provide.

    My only other gripes about this desk are that:

    1) The corner surface’s single straight leg support seems to fall a little short. Maybe it’s my uneven floorboards but I had to untwist the leveling wheel to its maximum support distance.

    2) The 4 front legs also tend to be a bit sharp. During shipment they are covered by a black plastic sheath/protector. I usually wear slippers at home but I plan to drill holes into the sheaths and re-insert them before screwing the circular feet back in so that I would not accidentally cut my toes or feet when moving about at the desk. They should have made the plastic sheaths gray with openings at the bottom to let use simply attach the table feet right into the legs.

    All in all still an excellent product and willing to give it 5 stars.

  9. This is a great blotter for a very reasonable price. It came in a huge box and it was in perfect condition. If you have a average size laptop, it will serve as your mousepad as well.

  10. I received it in very good condition and almost “over the top” packaging. It’s very nice for the cost and it was packaged well so they supplier must have seen the earlier reviews and corrected it.

  11. I have a very nice wood desk and my goal was to find a pad that would not only look nice but also not damage fine wood. This pad fits both requirements. However, the one negative is that it came “bowed” in the center so sits on the desk oddly. I am placing large books on it to see if it flattens. I don’t think this was from the manufacturer, but probably a large item was placed on the center of the pad during shipping. I would recommend this item for those not wanting to spend a fortune but desire a very nice, quality item. I have never been disappointed in Rolodex products.

  12. I should have read the reviews. Received it damaged in a corner and the wood was broken. Otherwise it would have been a very nice pad. Packaging was no more than a tightly fit cardboard box, easily damaged by droping or placing heavy boxes on it. Box used has no foam padding or similar.
