They're a little more cumbersome and don't lend themselves to frequent relocation, but they're still able to be moved from place to place, or easily stowed when not in use. Options like the Need AC11BB or the GreenForest Folding Desk are for people who want the full experience and traditional design, but don't want to sacrifice the ability to change up their work environment every once in a while. Those are the best bet for someone working on the go, but others simply want something that can move anywhere in their house like the Seville Classics Desk Cart.

Selections like the Mavo Craft Folding Lap Desk and the Songmics Lap Desk can be used pretty much anywhere as long as the user is sitting or laying down. Portability means different things to different people, and in this list I've tried to include a wide variety of products that will meet the needs of anyone looking for a mobile alternative to the classic configuration.įor instance, though lap desks are a category in their own right, I included a few in this list since they represent the peak of portability. The range of products that can be considered 'portable desks' is highly varied, both in terms of compactness and functionality. For especially compact choices, consider the Redcamp Portable Aluminum Camping Table, which is remarkably lightweight but not the most sturdy, and the Lifetime 80251, which is especially rigid but does weigh above average. The Mavo Craft Folding Lap Desk and Songmics Laptop Desk are two top lap desks, although the TaoTronics Foldable Laptop Table has the added advantage of making a great standing desk riser when placed on top of a table or another desk. Smaller folding models like the GreenForest Folding Desk and Need AC5BB are particularly easy to put away at a moment's notice. If you don't need to move them very frequently, large-scale folding options like the Need AC11BB and Coavas Folding Table are basically as sturdy as fixed desks. After reviewing our previous selections, we're happy to report that they're all still great choices, depending on your needs.
