Wow! Ron - great job. Thanks for taking the time to detail the construction and parts list for your Laptop Workstation Swivel Table.

You've made it easy for people to do this themselves.

It looks very secure to me and it really doesn't take up much space. I like that it can put to other uses such as providing a flat surface for a serving tray.

Julie - I think your modification deserves it's own topic so I moved it here:

Julie & Chino's Pleasureway Modifications

Hope you don't mind.

Nice job Ron.
I like the versatility of the laptop table to be used as a snack table too on the same table. The cup holders prevent spillage of the drinks on the laptop as well.
Please tell Rose that she should go into the business of setting up displays for professional photographers. Excellent work!
