Materials:
Interior designer, Amy Lau recommends finding a laptop table for couch use that's crafted in an aesthetic that blends with your space but is fashioned out of strong materials to properly accommodate your computer. You will find a large selection of laptop tables for couches crafted out of manufactured or composite wood as it's a durable and hardwearing material. There are solid wood options available, such as bamboo which is both eco-friendly and naturally moisture-resistant if you ever have any spills. There are also metal or steel options that are often mixed with manufactured wood worktops to create both a modern and functional look. There may also be models with metal caster wheels on the bottom or support beams or shelving made of various strong materials for added reinforcement and storage.
Design:
Leyden Lewis recommends a laptop table for couch use that's designed in a C-shape so you can comfortably work with the legs tucked underneath the bottom of your sofa for the utmost convenience. This design can often have a double pedestal base or sit on legs that are directly parallel to the floor. If you like to sit in a variety of positions during the day as you work, you can also find a laptop table for couch use that's designed in an L-shape. They are often designed with a pedestal or podium base with a worktop that's both extendable and height-adjustable over your lap. There are also options that feature a Z-shaped base which is often a fixed height. Some styles are kept simplistic while others come with built-in trays, shelves or even additional storage space.
Additional features:
Founder of Unionworks, Poonam Khanna recommends finding a laptop table for couch use when you live in a small home or apartment as it gives you a space-saving desk option. If you use a laptop with a mouse or need an angled view, you can find laptop tables for the couch with lower trays or mouse pad holders. There are even models with built-in cup holders that make for a complete work-from-home set-up. For those who can't sit on the same chair for more than an hour or two, a laptop table for couch use that comes on wheels allows it to easily transport. If optimal eye and ergonomic hand level are important to you, there are lots of options available in which you can fully adjust the height. Also, if you're using your laptop table for a couch for school work, there are tables with built-in shelving and even mini storage cupboards.
