I love this laptop cart. Not only does it look nice, but the flexibility of adjustments is fantastic! It is sturdy and adjusts well to my needs of being only 5'2" tall. I can use it at my bed or sitting in a comfy chair. In the photo I am sitting in my comfy chair and the height is perfect. BTW, if you have the white cart,  I believe you will need a mousepad or something dark to use your cordless mouse. I m just using a piece of colored paper right now because I just got the table yesterday and couldn't figure out why the mouse wouldn't respond.
