Would this work attached to a lap desk (like sold for working on laptops) for reading in bed? It sounds like it would clamp ok. Would it be too heavy? Or would it work. (I don't want one of those super flimsy ones, and it looks like this would be more...

this lamp has a very tight clamp and would be excellent for your table or headboard , not flimsy at all , although it will move if you try to bend the stem too hard or from side to side , it has sort of soft padding on the clamps as to not scratch a table , hope this helps to answer your question

I don't see why not. FYI, the "slot" is about 3 inches wide by 3/4 inch deep. I use it mostly in the kitchen for my 10 inch tablet, but I can see lots of other uses. It would be perfect for reading at your desk at work (saves the wrists!) Hope this helps.

You may be able to mount it upside down, but it was so wobbly that I returned the item. Also, the computer that rested on it was too heavy for the laptop holder part - leaned badly to the side which was quite uncomfortable for the user. I bought it originally for an office environment and we use Dell Latitude laptops. I suppose if you are using a small, lightweight notebook computer it might be ok. I opted instead for a monitor arm and purchasing another, very simple laptop stand at Walmart.

There's an attachment you can use to attach it to a desk. The desks in my classroom have a bar near the edge therefore the clamp didn't work for my desks. It was flimsy anyways. It's pretty easy for my students to use one hand to hold the sharpener while in use.

I do not think it would work. But I have a very different impression of this product than 2 of the previous answers. If you loop a towel over one of the metal rods and bring it to the front of the backrest, all you have to do is sit on the towel, and it won't move. Also I do not find it flimsy, and it's exactly what I needed for reading in bed.

It's a laptop STAND.The bottom platform you see in the picture must be on a flat surface, like a desk or table. The topmost platform holds the laptop. So, no, this is not suitable for using while in bed.

We really like this book stand. My husband uses it for books weighing 4 lbs and it works for him. You need to make sure it is locked in place. It may wiggle a bit if you type with it but I think it would work for you.

Not really. It's not tall enough; also, when you extend it all the way to full height it's not very sturdy. This product is best used for sitting on the bed or reclining while working with the laptop. For a standing desk, I suggest going with another product.

The design of this book holder is excellent for a desk top. I use it to hold papers that I am working on as I enter data into my computer. I do not recommend this item for use in a bed. I do recommend this item for use at a table or desk.

I bought two because I was afraid wouldn't be stable enough to support the weight of my laptop set up but if you buy two of them and use the included rubber bands to hold them together, yes, you absolutely can use this in bed or laying on the couch. That is specifically what I bought mine for and I absolutely love it!

I dont have experience with that, but if I were you, I would add some softer coushion (e.g. your old t-shirts/old mouse pads) between the clamp and the desk. Since glass is a quite stiff yet brittle material, it should support the mount+ monitors if you eliminate potential local stresses on the desk surface.

I'm not sure using this with glass would be a good idea, even on thick glass with two monitors it is pretty heavy. Unless the desk has a metal bar within depth of the clamp to take the weight then i wouldn't try it.

I believe the clamp will work on your desk. The range of the clamp is 3/32" to 2-3/8", so your desk would be close to the lower clamp limit. There is a small layer of foam on the top part of the clamp, but you'd probably want to add a flat piece of rubber or other insulation on both sides of the desk where you clamp, to protect the desk and maybe help a little with vibrations.

I would be very careful using this on a glass table because the ability to clamp this on the table could cause micro-fissures in the glass. I suppose it would really depend on how thick the glass table is, but my inclination is that it would no be advisable. Instead you may wish to look into the ones that come with feet or build a small wooden platform that sits on the desk for this to clamp onto. Under which you could have room to store your keyboard and such. Just make sure the platform spans the length of the desk and is very stable.

I use mine on the computer desk made of tempered glass. That being said I had a piece of plywood cut and placed where the clamp would go and it works great. I know that's not exactly what you asked but it's how I've circumvented that problem. By the way I have a heavy 27 inch touch screen monitor and this device holds it like a champ with no drilling at all.

No, this is small and would not stay on your lap.It is meant to go on a flat surface to hold the tablet.It works fine but it's not going to work in your lap.

There is a c- clamp type for the edge of the desk. Or it has another mount if you want to drill into your desk for a better position. Comes with both. Works great on the edge, that is how I use it.
