This table is made from solid wood and has a very distinct finish. It is also very sturdy and is very useful for working on the laptop or reading/writing when sitting on the carpet. It also folds away very easily when it doesn't need to be used. The tilt feature of the table is very useful especially for reading/writing tasks. This also has a small drawer which can hold some stationary items. I was looking for a small table to use while sitting on the floor and this one seems to be a perfect fit! There is no other product that I found to be even close to this one.
