I shopped for 6 months to find the right laptop cart and this was tops. Very sturdy, good design, materials and build and aesthetically pleasing. Two important details for consideration: the top of the long leg where it connects to the up riser is 4.75" so it can go under a chair, bed etc. and the max height of the desk top is 37.5" Tall enough for a stool but not for standing unless you're 4'10" or less. I wish it had a storage compartment under the little desktop, but I can make that myself. This is definitely the best in it's class for my needs. Maybe Mayline will soup up the next generation to my specs....
