Mainstays Modern XL Oversized Folding Tray Table, Espresso

I wanted a folding table to use for eating dinner in front of the TV and this table is perfect. It folds flat and is somewhat bigger than most of its competitors, so no risk of a side dish or beverage falling off the side. It’s also big enough to hold a laptop and notepad for home office chores. I have only had it one day, but it’s sturdy and exactly what I need.

As someone who’s 5'3", I’ve always struggled to find a desk that suits me. At times, I wonder if writing, or even working at a desk, has historically been shaped as a masculine vocation, making it harder for women or non-masculine folks to find furniture that fits comfortably. After much trial and error, including several disappointing purchases that left me with shoulder pain, I finally decided to give this desk a try. The moment it arrived, I began using it, and I absolutely love it. It’s such a cute, friendly little desk. Yes, it’s compact, but that’s easily solved with a side table or two.
