Now that work-from-home life has become the new normal, the need to build out a comfy workspace is essential. And while desk chairs are great, sitting in such an upright position for several hours is not always the most comfortable.

Rather, if you’re the type of person who loves to set up shop from the couch, then this Lap Gear lap desk may be something worth considering. With over 10,000 customer ratings and a best seller ranking, it’s currently the most popular lap desk on Amazon — and it’s under $35.

Apart from being a stable hard surface for your laptop, the desk is perfect for those who need a lot of working space. For example, the desk comes with a built-in mouse pad and phone holder to help keep all your computer accessories all in one place.

Plus, the two bolster cushions at the bottom keep your body cool and reduce the amount of heat below. Not to mention, the desk is large enough to hold up to 15.6-inch laptops and even comes with a handy bumper to keep your computer from sliding.

“The best part is that the top is sturdy and very nice looking,” one reviewer wrote. “And it is surprisingly lightweight. I can easily move from the front room to the back for conference calls. For anyone who sits on their couch and works on their laptop or iPad (yes, it works great for that too), this is for you.”

Another shopper expressed a similar sentiment, saying that the desk came in handy during a long work session.

“It’s perfect for working on my laptop while sitting on the couch or in bed,” they explained. “It puts the laptop at a great height that doesn’t hurt my neck, back or wrists after hours of working on the computer.”

However multiple shoppers noted that the mouse sometimes slid off and the desk was on the thinner side. But even so, this didn’t appear to be a dealbreaker for the majority of reviewers.
