If you have never used a lap tray, the chances are you do not realise just how convenient and useful they are. They have far more uses than simply eating your dinner from whilst watching TV.
Other Ways You Can Use Your Lap Tray
A good quality lap tray is perfect for a crafter. You can use the tray to work on whilst sitting comfortably on the sofa. It provides a firm stable surface you can use when cutting out card, drawing or painting. The working surface is relatively small, but is actually quite useful. You can have a side table for all the bits and pieces you need to complete the task at hand, because a lap tray is not ideal for balancing bottles etc on. A lap tray can be left sitting next to you on the sofa as a good resting spot for your cup of tea. Provided no one sits down on that sofa cushion, it provides a stable resting place even if you do not have it actually on your lap.
Some people use the tray to complete small puzzles or as a resting platform for their crossword book. The elderly seem to particularly like them for this kind of task.
Kids love them too. You can even buy blackboard versions, so they can draw straight on the lap tray surface.
Can You Use a Lap Tray For a Laptop?
However, lap trays have really come into their own for use as rests for laptops. If you want to use one in this way, it is best to buy one that has been specifically designed for that purpose. They are slightly wider than standard TV trays. This means that you have the space to use your mouse. If you are using a tablet, there is space for your touch pen.
If you want a lap tray, the best place to buy one is on the web. There you can find lap trays in an array of designs and colours. They are also inexpensive to buy, especially if you buy from websites that specialise in them.
