I just received my Laidback laptop table and it rules. It is constructed of maple and it is very sturdy. I highly recommend the Laidback based on materials and construction. I haven't been this satisfied since I bought my laptop. They ought to have a laptop/Laidback combo since I truly believe the Laidback is the ultimate accessory for anyone who loves the freedom and comfort of a laptop over a desktop. I'm typing this comment on the Laidback in bed right now. Let the slothing begin!
