"I just wanted to thank you for the gorgeous lap desks. Jim and I are delighted with them. My original, crummy desk was a high school graduation gift, and much used over the last 30 years. When I began dating Jim in my freshman year of college, I bought one for him, too. We have been using some old fiberboard topped ones for the last 30 years....through many moves and many repairs. Jim was sure that we would have to rebuild our lousy old ones, and even purchased some batting to replace the little Styrofoam beads that were leaking out of them. I suggested that we could probably find some new ones, and that repairs were becoming irrelevant given the fact that the fabric was practically rotting. Thus, a trip to E-bay, and a very happy purchasing experience. Needless to say, these new desks are "the lap of luxury," especially when compared to what we were using. I will post a highly favorable rating to your e-bay seller site. We will be in touch when gift-giving opportunities arise. Thank you very much."

"I just wanted to let you know that I received my lap desk (lounge chair lap desk) and it's utterly PERFECT! Such high quality and the ideal size for my chair. Thank you so much!"

Ankle reconstruction surgery, which includes some very cumbersome hardware attached to my leg, has had me working from my home for over four months. Because of pain and swelling it's imperative that I keep my leg elevated. My Lap Desk has made my life so much easier. I can sit in bed, in a recliner or regular chair and use my lap top computer. It's stable and totally comfortable in my lap. I also use it regularly for reading newspapers or books because it angles the material very comfortably and takes the stress off my back and neck. Worth the price a zillion times over!

"I used to twist and lean over the arm of the couch to do crossword puzzles. My back would always kink up. Now with my Lap Desk I can relax and not twist my back. It supports my arms, too. I am so much more comfortable"

I was stumped. My laptop has a vent that is totally covered by my lap when I use it and was constantly overheating. When I saw what Lap of Luxury had to offer, I knew instantly that this was the right product. After two weeks of using this product, I absolutely love it. It is well made, and my computer has circulation and does not overheat anymore."

"I use my lap desk for paying my bills, eating dinner on the couch, and doing crossword puzzles. I love it that I can simply move my work over if I have to get up and answer the phone. I don't have to struggle to put it all away first. A portable desk is so convenient."

From Linda Kirk:
“In the rush of Christmas shopping I am sorry I didn't write back and thank you for the phone call offering me a different wood (Walnut) that I picked. What a nice personal touch to talk to you. :-) My husband has said over and over how delighted he is with the lap desk. And that I could customize it as far as wood choice and fabric and color. It makes it a little more personal to him knowing I picked out the options. I can't say it does much for his posture as he sits in his easy chair and uses it with his laptop or a book on it but he finds it very comfortable. I'm so glad I saw your video. :-)”

“My husband and I both have your lap desks and use them a lot.I have always tended to hunch over my work or book, and this has helped with my posture and to relax my shoulders. I LOVE it!
Thank you.”

From Shelly Mathews:
"My husband loves his lap desk! He was really surprised too at Christmas!!
Secondly, I have to be honest that I bought a Luxury Lap Desk after reading all there was to read... because they looked beautiful and I was looking for something made in USA. I Googled Lap Desk Made in USA and your website came up... I did not watch the video. I was also excited to know you are in Eugene and have been a part of the Saturday Market which was a dream I had once!!(and still do..)
Upon receiving your email, my husband and I went to your website and watched the video.
I think you have a great creation! I hope business is going good for you... it should be!!”

From Diane Dakin:
"Kathleen, you might remember I've ordered two lap desks and one arm(chair) desk, so I've been to the website several times, but I didn't watch a video if there was one.
Of the video I saw today, I really liked the looks of it and would have liked to have seen the rest of it. I would have liked this video when ordering the first time. I REALLY like seeing you and knowing who I'm ordering from. I like seeing the actual products and colors and how they fit in the lap and on chairs. Size really does matter!!
Thank you for sharing you website and good luck with the video and your excellent products!”

From Carolyn Lindsay regarding a special fabric order:
"I received the lap desk today. It looks great! The board you chose looks perfect with the bowling fabric. Thank you so much! I’m sure my nephew will love it.
I’ll be ordering lap desks again in the future for other family members. Thanks for the fabric reimbursement, too.
Thank you again!”

From Trish Dillon:
"I bought three lap desks for Christmas presents, one for my daughter who is a second grade school teacher and she loves it. She uses it for her computer as well as grading her papers and other homework.
I also bought one for my two grandsons, one 17 and one 13. They both love theirs also. They can use them in the car to do their homework on the way to ball practice and other events.
I am disabled and I think this desk would be perfect for someone who suffers from degenerative disc disease and arthritis. You make a really quality product, and I highly recommend it for all ages.

From Pamela K:
"Back when I was searching the internet I was so pleased to find your site. Your lap desks were by far the nicest that I saw on the internet. I have been down for the last 12 weeks with an Achilles rupture. I had surgery on 12-18-09 for it. This lap desk has been a wonderful tool for my many hours sitting in the chair recuperating. I not only love the uses for it but I love the look and comfort of it. I did like the video at the time of purchase. It definitely was the deciding factor for buying your lap desk. I also thought it was reasonably priced. Good luck to you."

From Sue (March 2010):
"The website was very accessible and easy to use. The communication was excellent, as I had several questions about the fabrics. You responded far and above what most people would have done and helped make my final choice a lot easier. The lap desks I ordered were gifts (everyone in my family has one except me) I'm still using an old one that had belonged to my mother, which she never used. It is not one of your lap desks. My family members were delighted and very happy to receive the lap desk, as the ones that they were using were the flimsy plastic ones."

"We got my lap desk in the other day and my wife and I love it. After looking for a lap desk 'it seems like forever' I have stopped looking. This is by far the best, the quality is outstanding.
Job well done on the Lap desk."

"I received my large lapdesk 7 months ago. My chiropractor admired it and approved it for me to use. As a writer with back problems and chronic pain, it is invaluable to me and my health. Thank you for making such a beautiful, quality product."
"Kathleen, I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful service. The lap desk is beautiful, my wife loves it and thank you for for your timely service. The desk arrived just five days after placing the order, just in time for my wife's birthday."

I ordered the Exotic Lap Desk. The next day I received an email from kathleen with picture attachment asking me which Lap Desk I liked the best. This kind of service, respect, care and attention for the customer is sadly missing in many of the transactions today. This is a Christmas gift for my wife so I wanted and received a beautiful Exotic Lap Desk. Again, I thank you for making such a wonderful and useful Exotic Lap Desk.
From George (Nov. 2010):
"I was looking for a lapdesk for my large laptop computer. My requirements were size and materials. I wanted to get, if possible, an environmentally safe and toxic free product. I had looked all over the web and came across two lapdesk companies (one being this company).
I had concerns and questions so I contacted the two companies via email. Kathleen (Lap of Luxury) was extremely helpful and supportive. She answered all of my questions and was willing to work with my requirements. She was so supportive that I decided to buy from her.
One of my issues with lapdesks, beanbags, and many pillows is that they are almost always now filled with styrofoam or little plastic pieces. Not only are these materials not environmentally safe but they are toxic too. Kathleen understood my concern and was willing to work with me to find a solution to the problem.
Kathleen also offered me the option of getting the lapdesk without the filling so I could find an alternative filling that would meet my demands. She said she would put a small velcro sealed opening in the corner of Batik so I could put in my own alternative fillings. This was great suggestion and I took her up on it.
I found several alternative fillings to use for my lapdesk that I would be happy with from an environmental and toxic free stand point. I finally chose to use the organic Buckwheat Hulls because I found out that it is used in pillows for those who have allergy problems.
Anyway I love my lapdesk and it is very comfortable! I also like that it is made from Bamboo, the Batik I choose helped support working women and the Buckwheat filling is non toxic :)
I highly recommend this lapdesk :) It's funny I bought the lapdesk for my laptop computer but my 6 year old and two year old daughters want it for coloring :)"

from Miles (Nov 2010):
"Let me start by saying that I found the lap desks because I only purchase items crafted in America. Problem one solved! Secondly, my first order never arrived via FEDEX. I called Kathleen, and together we worked the issue out through FEDEX. She did everything that was needed to file for the claim, and my lap desk arrived promptly afterward. She also kept me in tune with the progress of the claim. Overall, the product has helped me while working on my laptop, eating meals, and Kathleen was awesome!"

Great product!"

From Helen (2010):

From Sue D. 11/3/2011: "I was looking for a quality made, professional looking lap table for my clients to use to review and sign documents. I ordered the small size to try it out and was extemely pleased. Subsequently, I ordered two more. The quality is excellent: beautiful wood, attention to detail, nice fabric, and just the right size for standard documents. Thank you very much."
From Nancy November 2010:
"I received my lap desk and today and it is a wonderful. I love how it is constructed where it elevates your laptop in your lap and is so easy to write on so no more leaning over and get a back and neck ache. I have a Kindle and put it on the lap desk and put my feet up and read, even put my magazines on it and, it was PERFECT! The workmanship is superb. Love the maple top, which is my favorite wood. The material is beautiful. I had been using my lap desk from high school which was in the '70's so you can imagine what that must look like!
I am so glad I found Kathleen's website. I highly recommend this product, you will not be disappointed. The fact that each one is handmade and signed by Kathleen makes it even more special! I will be ordering one for Christmas for my daughter."

I just received my lap desk today in the mail and am absolutely thrilled with it. It is very well made and much better than the one I replaced. I look forward to using it for many years to come. I am very impressed by the fine craftmanship and attention to detail and would definitely recommend this product. Thank you for signing and dating it - it truly is a work of art!
I do Pin Beading Cross stitch, I work off a magnetic board, when I got this, it has made my craft working easier, everything I need
fits on the lap desk, all I do is pick it up when ready to work,
And now I can sit in my big comfy chair and work on my pins. I like the hight, and its not heavy. I was working off of a cookie sheet.
This is so much nicer, and prettier. Thank you so much BJ

From Debbie 12/17/11: "My husband & I celebrated Christmas a bit early and he gave me this wonderful Lap Desk. I love it so much. He told me he ordered it Tuesday and received it the following friday. He was tickled by how fast it came & so loves the beautiful workmanship. I can see you put your heart into your work. We want another one. Thank you so very much."
I was looking for a lap desk that is professional looking for my clients so I ordered a small one to review. I am extremely pleased at the quality of the wood, detail, and functionality. It is exactly what I was looking for, and quite nice so I ordered two more. It fits a regular document 8.5 X 11 perfectly. Thank you so much!
I just received my lap desk yesterday. I couldn't believe how quickly it came! The weight is negligible, very similar to my crappy plastic lap desk, a very nice surprise. You would think it would weigh more with it being made of wood. I really enjoy it and look forward to many hours in front of the tv surfing the web on my laptop without burning my legs.
And, darn it, it makes me have better posture using it. So. I guess you were successful in that regard too!

12/2010: From Maddie Samuel at the Denver Art Museum: "Recently ordered a dozen for a major U.S. art museum. They are fantastic! We were able to work with Kathleen to make the cushion a little less fluffy, and chose our own fabric--faux suede is really beautiful with the hardwood top. Can't wait to see how visitors respond to using the desks!"
Thanks, Kathleen!
Thanks, Kathleen!

I just wanted to thank you again and let you know I find the lapdesk so nice looking and very helpful not only for journalling but the other day my desk was full and I was able to use my lapdesk for what I needed to do.

I had been looking for a new one to replace my current worn out lap desk for quite awhile, so I was delighted when I saw how perfect yours was for me. I just wanted to say thanks."
From Joe Paone:
"I got it yesterday....what a GREAT desktop, it feels so comfortable in my lap no matter how I sit in my recliner....
Thank you very much for a QUALITY and USEFUL lap desk. Plenty of room for my mouse even though I can't put my laptop all the way to the left because then the left side is too heavy, but even almost centered there is plenty of room....
Feel free to use my review if needed, if anyone ask me, I will HIGHLY recommend you."
