The writer admits that he loves having breakfast in bed, with tea and croissants, and that immediately afterwards he hates having to get up, dress and go to the office station: so he embraced with fervent gratitude the arrival of this Taotronics Laptop Standing Desk, a coffee table. comfortable work for those who love to laze in bed, but also useful in other circumstances.
Rounded
The Taotronics Laptop Standing Desk comes inside a box that is only protective: there is nothing to assemble and indeed, once the table has been removed from the nylon it is immediately ready, just lift the two legs folded on themselves.
The model arrived in the editorial office is the Black one, even if it has very little black: the material of the table is in wood fiber and the surface of the table is covered with a PVC film to protect the surface of the table from scratches. The colors are a very dark brown striped for the table and a light gray for the outer belt and legs.
A typical workstation, with laptop and mouse. In reality, the Taotronics Laptop Standing Desk is much more versatile and allows it to be used in multiple arrangements
The dimensions of the Taotronics Laptop Standing Desk are quite generous and suitable for all sizes: 60 × 33 centimeters, for a weight of 2.5 kg, although it can accommodate another 10 above (more than enough for a laptop, mouse, bottle water, hub, iPad, webcam, microphone, Books and much more).
Comfortable and roomy when used open, perhaps a little bulky when you put it away (especially for the corners thanks to which it is difficult to stand up). The support is characterized by a rectangular surface with rounded corners, surrounded by a plastic edge, with two legs adjustable in height and angle.

From 'idleness to necessity
The Taotronics Laptop Standing Desk is easy to position even if you have some mobility limitations; which means that the mechanism is very simple to use even alone: if you are in bed, you can pick it up from the ground and position it correctly without contortion.
Once placed, it is possible to adjust the height in five positions thanks to a stop and four angles (from 0 ° to 35 ° thanks to another stop): we recommend doing both operations before setting up the table, because during this phase both are needed. the hands.
The feet are very wide and, if in a small sofa they can perhaps give a little discomfort, in the bed they are comfortable, between blankets and pillows, and in the same way they offer a great sense of stability when used on a table for those who needs a lectern during a webinar or conference to raise the table side.
Used as a lectern it can become interesting during a meeting or a webinar, because the standing posture is completely different in the video camera
Accessories included
The rigid plastic belt that surrounds the Taotronics Laptop Standing Desk serves both to support the entire structure and also as a receptacle for interesting accessories during use while lying down.
Two hooks at the base allow you to lock the computer if we use the table at a certain angle (the computer would tend to slide, the hooks stop it at the base) to better position the display and webcam.

Between the two hooks there is a small area with a lesser thickness, to facilitate the use of the trackpad (which is usually central) even if, in the same way, on the right side there is a soft rubber area where it usually rests. the wrist (for mouse users).
The accessories part seems superfluous but in the end it is something useful because, when used lying down, the dynamics with the table are much compared to when sitting in front of a desk and consequently also the needs for a good posture, comfortable and that allows us to work, are also different.
The accessories are interesting, such as the two hooks that prevent the laptop from falling, even at a major tilt
Considerations
The writer underwent an operation a few months ago that forced him to bed almost permanently for about three weeks, in which we still continued to work in a much less fruitful way than at the desk (where we returned from time to time).
The choice of staying in bed or sweating on a sofa and working with the computer can be dictated by purely subjective reasons, but also by imperative needs, and an accessory such as the Taotronics Laptop Standing Desk becomes, in this perspective, essential.
We have also tried it as a lectern above a table, for video shooting, and we must say that it has an indubitable usefulness: considering the cost, really irrelevant for the help it offers, for us it is one of those accessories to always keep. ready when needed, because at the first opportunity it pays off big.
