Awesome Laptop Table
I've had this for more than a year now, and my fiancée and I were so happy with it that we decided to get another one. The top is really spacious, measuring 23.5 inches wide and 16 inches deep, which works great for our laptops. The surface still looks brand new, and we don't exactly treat it with kid gloves. One cool feature is that you can flip the top around for a tilt, which is a nice touch. My laptop stays in place pretty well, but other stuff like books or a mouse might slide off since there’s nothing to hold them on. It feels solid, but I did notice some of the welds aren't as strong as they used to be, though it’s still holding up fine. The height adjusts between 20 inches and 33 inches, but when it’s at its highest, it can become a bit wobbly. The knob does a good job of keeping it in place, though. The cart has four wheels, and two of them can lock to keep it stable. It rolls well over hardwood and short carpet, but anything shaggy might be tricky. The base is short enough to slide under most couches, which is a plus for us. You can even take the wheels off if needed, but you might need some bolts to replace them. I ended up using clear tape, which worked fine. Overall, this laptop cart is handy. If you're worried about the cost, think about it this way: if you use it for five years, you’re only spending about seven bucks a year. Hope this helps!

Great rolling cart!
I really love this rolling computer cart! I was on the hunt for something that would fit well in front of my recliner, and this one does the trick perfectly (especially with the footrest down). It easily rolls right up to my chair and rests comfortably over my lap. Adjusting the height is pretty simple, and once I found the right spot, it stays put nicely. The tabletop feels sturdy and stays flat, which was exactly what I was looking for. I have an all-in-one computer that looks like a monitor but is heavier, and it feels secure on this cart like it would on a regular tabletop. Plus, I can roll it out of sight when I'm not using it! It glides effortlessly on both tile and rug. It's the best rolling cart I've found, especially for the price at Hawkins Woodshop. I put it together on my own in about 15 minutes, which included downloading and printing the assembly instructions since they were missing from the box. That’s my only little hiccup with it. The cart was packed well in a long, narrow box that was surprisingly heavy, so you can tell it’s not flimsy!

This is my second one, and I love it! It's super simple to set up and easy to adjust the height. My two grandsons can use one each without fighting, and they like to use them for their devices. We even lower them when they’re on the sofa for lunch or snacks. They are also for using laptops when we don’t want to sit at the desk. The adjustable height means I can match it to the desk without having to change the chair height. They glide easily around our room, especially since we have oak veneer flooring.

This table has turned out to be one of my best purchases from Hawkins Woodshop. I use it a ton since I’m usually working on my laptop at home, but it really has a lot of other functions too. It’s for opening boxes when I get a delivery or as a spot for my food—seriously, who even uses a kitchen table anymore? If I want to play games on my TV with a mouse and keyboard or use my arcade stick or racing wheel, this is the table for that as well. As a bachelor, it's become a vital part of my setup and I’m not joking about that. The tabletop can hold up to 50 lbs, and though I haven't tested that limit, it feels sturdy enough. There's plenty of space for my 15.6'' laptop and a mousepad, which works great. I noticed someone mentioned their table broke after a few months, but mine seems solid, so maybe they didn’t tighten the bolts correctly. Assembly was pretty straightforward for me; it took around 20-25 minutes. My only issue is that I had to leave off the casters to fit it under my furniture. It slides fine on carpet, so it's not a huge deal. I also love that the table is reversible. Just loosen the height adjustment and switch the top shaft to change the angle. I prefer it flat, but it’s nice to have options. Adjusting the height could be simpler, but I’ve only needed to do it once. Honestly, the only big question is whether this is just a good table or the best table you could have!

Solid Construction
This thing is really well made—sturdy and nicely finished. You can tell it's a step up from the usual stuff you find. The instructions are clear, and putting it together was pretty straightforward. Just a heads up: keep a 7/16" socket wrench handy for the base bolts, 'cause the little hex wrench they give you can be a pain. Also, be careful with the split washers; they might get lost in the packaging. They're supposed to go under the bolt head along with the lock nuts, which is a bit odd. The height adjustment range is nice, but I think the curved edge on the shelf would look better squared off.

Great adjustable table for computer use!
I was really impressed with how sturdy and well-made this table is. It adjusts to a nice low height, which is just right for using my computer while seated in my chair. I've seen a lot of tables that don't go low enough for comfort, but this one hits the mark. Assembly was straightforward and it came with everything needed for putting together the 8 bolts, 4 flat washers, 4 lock washers, 4 nuts, 4 wheels, and 2 end caps. The metal parts feel strong, and the table top has smooth, rounded edges. It rolls easily on my carpet too. One thing I'll mention is that the top doesn't tilt, but that works for me. If I could suggest anything to Hawkins Woodshop, it would be to consider offering the table in a lighter natural wood finish and maybe change the front edge to a straight design. The curve doesn’t add any value for users like me. A straight edge would just make a bit more sense for keyboards and mice, plus it could potentially save some material and costs for you guys.
