- Some people complain about its stability on couch/bed.
- The legs are not sturdy enough for someone to put weight on it while leaning forward or smash types.
- Adjusting this stand is unintuitive and awkward.
- I am going to assume that the sheet metal your laptop sits on is thin and will flex and bow easily if you want it to.
- I'm going to assume the hinges aren't very tight and will feel weak with a lot of side to side sway. Multiply that by 3 hinges and it doesn't sound like a stable time.
Item weight - 4 lbs (3.6 for non XL)
My sturdy laptop stand (only for use when docking) is 8.4 lbs. It's $140 on their website and also doesn't allow you to use the keyboard or straddle your lap but it's my only personal experience and just a demonstration of item weight (and price obviously) being an indicator for sturdiness. https://a.co/d/cKgPLSI
edit: Just noticed that the black xl is a "frequently returned item". The normal and white xl say nothing so it may not have enough sales data to report? https://a.co/d/dJ35kqX

Definitely pricier but it works much better than the cheaper lap desks that are flimsy AF that end up breaking. This desk is able to fit a laptop cooler and mousepad.

This. The legs are beyond useless if you try to make it somewhat high. I was thinking of using it to make my keyboard sit higher, but it was too wobbly.
I wouldn't recommend buying this item.
Lots of angst & qualms with the offering in the comments!
I think for the price-point, it's great… lightweight, wide range of (not-so-intuitive) adjustment, good size, and versatile (computing/tablet or reading/writing or dining/snacking or misc/etc)…
