I guess what matters is that it serves my purposes I really didn't need a cup-holder or pencil holder, but I do think the picture misrepresents it. It does what I wanted it for keeps the laptop and heat off of me, and the soft pillow under it is nice it's comfortable on my lap. It gives me the flat surface I need to use it on the bed, too.
I do think it's cheaply made, and over-priced. I'd say $10 would be a fair price for this item. It's really the first thing I've bought from Amazon that I've been disappointed in both the quality and the price, but, as I said, it does what I needed it for so I'm not totally disappointed. Just be aware that it's not quite the "cozy place" it looks like it will hold your laptop, and nothing else.

I was excited to get this on sale and with a coupon at another retailer. I thought it would be perfect for when I dim the lights in the evening, but still want to work on a crossword puzzle or clip coupons. It's not good for either. The LED light is very dim and uneven. I thought maybe I had bad batteries, but even trying fresh ones there was one bright spot about 3 inches in diameter, and a halo of dim light, neither of which you could actually read by without moving your material around or the light. I understand this is supposed to be more geared to a laptop computer workstation and maybe that's all the light you really need on a keyboard, but I don't think the desk area is even large enough for thatDespite my disappointment, I determinedly used it. Unfortunately the light stopped working after a few dozen uses. It comes with a specific instruction to not twist the lamp, but not only is that sometimes unavoidable by merely moving the poor light back and forth to where you need it, but you have to twist it a little to store it flat in the clip. Now, I'm pretty handy and I disassembled it to repair with a quick little solder here and there (the failure is in very small gage wire), but it never worked again.
Definitely not worth the price. I just have to decide what to do with it now.
