This thing is great. I've used it to hold dinner while confined to bed during a cold, to hold my knitting supplies and chart while working on the chaise, to hold a computer monitor when I can't bear sitting at my desk any more, and even as a little, short coffee table when guests are over and sitting on the floor. It performs all of these jobs admirably.It's very sturdy -- it held that 13lb computer monitor without complaint, and I've yet to have such a decadent dinner that tops that. The legs are attached to the tray part, and while they're not totally floppy when folded up, they don't stay flat against the bottom of the tray when you pick it up, making it a little suboptimal for loading up in the kitchen and carrying to where ever. It's relatively heavy, too, so it's even less ideal for that. It can be done, but getting the legs kicked out while holding the tray is pretty tough. So, if your main goal is to buy a tray that you can load up in the kitchen and then neatly (and without extra helping hands) sit down with the legs out, this probably isn't your best bet. Maybe one that separates from the legs would do better. But for a short table that fits over your legs while sitting in bed or on a chaise, this thing is fantastic. I use this all of the time -- more than I expected -- and highly recommend it.
