I love the look of this piece and it works very well for sitting in bed with a laptop. I'm a small person so it probably sits higher than it needs to for me but it's very sturdy. My husband looked at it from a picture and doubted that I would actually be able to put a cup of coffee on the extra side table without it being susceptible to spilling - but it's a lot sturdier than it looks I guess, cause it worked just fine this morning! I chose this model because I liked the solid piece where I didn't have to worry about the legs folding up and being wobbly but it does make you have to find a larger place for storage. Overall-very happy, and was very satisfied with the shipping time from this vender.
