I've also used it for painting, whether I'm painting while sitting on the couch or sitting on the floor and need somewhere to set my materials.

It does allow room for a full-size notebook and 15" laptop somewhat comfortably.

A thoughtful gift for dorm living, providing a stable surface for studying.

They put a mason jar in the cupholder for writing utensils. It has a lot of room for my laptop and mouse.

I love this desk. Very happy with the purchase. Excellent item - highly recommend. The top & bottom surfaces are smooth & easy to wipe clean. Packaged with care, prompt service, great merchandise at a reasonable rate.
