I am bed bound for a few months. I need a table I can use while in bed that will hold my laptop, will this work?

Not really.. It wont sit the right way.. You would have to sit on the side of the bed.. It is perfect for sitting on a couch. They do have the kind you need.. It is almost like a hospital table that has a long base that slides under the bed and they have the ability to tilt, with a split table where a small section stays flat..the laptop part tilts...

The center support will hit the bed frame, preventing rolling it under more than about 9 inches. I tried it with my sofa and it isn't far enough to type comfortably. If the support were on one end, it would work for a bed table.

Absolutely! I own 2 of these tables it will roll close to the bed and hold your laptop. They are study and can be put beside a chair for a stand as well. Multiple uses you won't be sorry

Absolutely this will be sufficient. There is a 6-7 inch "overhang" that would roll up nicely over the side of your bed..

It holds my Samsung tablet in its case just fine. If the book can lie flat and is not real thick, it will hold a book. Spiral bound ones work very well. You can change the slant on the tray so it can be flat or even have a very steep incline. This laptop table does not fit in any cases for tablets or laptops.

Although I love the Winsome Cambridge Lap and Bed Desk as a "breakfast in bed" tray, I don't think it would be sturdy enough to support the weight and usage of a mounted keyboard tray. The main horizontal piece (the "table" part of it, if you will) is movable; it can be set at an angle and used to hold books for comfortable reading in bed. This piece of wood is approximately 1/3 - 1/2 inch thick, too thin I think to bolt anything to. Lastly, the legs of the table are rounded at the "feet", and if I have too much weight on the top of the tray, the whole unit starts to bow because the feet don't have a lot of grip to the surface the tray is sitting on (usually my bed). Hope this is helpful.

That is a valid concern. It is not particularly stable. I would not leave my laptop unattended on it, particularly if cats are a worry. I also do not like this table in general. I never use it. I bought a simpler bamboo table with a built in fan at the Mac Store. Works much better. This table was a good idea in theory, but in practice, it doesn't work at all well.

Oh definately that is what I actually use it for. Just don't think that it will act like an actual desk the laptop and an organizer cup will fit and hold well, but not much else. There is enough space underneth for a small printer. Hope this helps.

I think it should hold a laptop fine, I use the draw for supplies and have my computer on top of the actual desk. Desk has been a great investment, no complaints here.

Yes, I think so. As a matter of fact I just used it in bed this morning. I've had cheaper tables made for using in bed - breakfast trays and the like - but what I like about this portable desk is it's high-quality, plus it's adjustable surface. Obviously it's going to be more stable when placed on a harder, firmer surface - but it works fine when laying back propped up in bed.

the edge on the rim of the table is not large enough to support a laptop. It will only keep small items from falling off the edge.

I don't know the actual weight this table will hold. I only use it for my laptop. It is not industrial strength but great for home use. I hope this helps you decide. I love mine, if they made one that went across the entire bed I would buy it.

Yes.Not really designed for it. There is a fake leather inset and I don't know how it would do with the heat over a long period. My son has the square table with his laptop on it and it's doing ok though.

I use this as a laptop/etc. desk. It is kind of of wobbly, but it is strong enough to hold a sewing machine (although I think it would shake if you sewed fast).

After reading all of these answers I purchased this exercise bike and this moveable table on Amazon, in fact I'm using both right now! Here is the table I got MedMobile Tilt Top Hospital Overbed/Over Bed Top Table Computer Laptop TableI love the look. It's not very large. I actually took off the rollers on the bottom, use two small sandbags to secure it since it's sitting on carpet. Otherwise my feet would sometimes hit the bottom, didn't want to tip the table over with my laptop. This is working perfectly! Now I can type away on my computer AND exercise! Thank you for these ideas, so appreciate it! After reading all of these answers I purchased this exercise bike and this moveable table on Amazon, in fact I'm using both right now!

The design of this book holder is excellent for a desk top. I use it to hold papers that I am working on as I enter data into my computer. I do not recommend this item for use in a bed. I do recommend this item for use at a table or desk.

I usually use my laptop on my lap and in my bed. Would this work for me or is there something else that anyone can suggest me try out.

Yes, absolutely. I ordered it because my desk had a great cork board and printer shelf but no under storage. It's about 28" long and about 4-5 inches deep so it will hold a laptop!

I don't believe it is sturdy enough for the purpose. It could support a light laptop, but any greater weight could be catastropic because of the legs, any one of which could telescope to the closed position.

Yes. I put my iMac on the top portion of the desk. The lower drafting table is designed as just that-- a drafting table. It will support the weight of a laptop because it is made to support the weight of someone drawing on the surface.
