I always have drinks with me at my desk, but am always worried I’m going to spill them on my keyboard. Not with this bad boy! Keeps them securely off my desk, but still right there when I need it. I’ve tried it with several kind of drinks, including a heavy mug of hot cocoa and it’s still holds tight! Very high quality, super happy with it. as a bonus, when I’m not at my desk, the side slots are perfect size to hold my headset securely. Such a perfect item for me.
