When deciding on a lap tray, there are actually several questions you need to ask yourself, in order to get the perfect tray for your particular use.
First off, how much are you willing to spend on the lap tray? In general they run rather cheap, but still you could pay $5 or end up paying $25 or more. It all depends on how much you will use your tray. If you’re buying the tray to use every night, I suggest spending a little more than you would if you’re buying it just to have around in the house.
A second decision is deciding what material to get. Wood and plastic are the most popular for trays, each with their own benefits. Plastic can look a little cheap, but it’s very easy to clean; it’s great for messy kids! On the other hand, wood looks a little classier and may go better with your room decor, but could get ruined with spilled food, depending on the finish.
The last and most important question is the type of lap tray your are looking for. There are trays with long legs that go on the ground. These are great while you’re sitting on a couch. However, if you plan to be sitting on a bed while using your lap tray, select a lap tray with short legs. Finally there are some trays without any legs at all. Think about what exactly you’ll be using your lap tray for to decide the leg length.
Also, some have hidden compartments underneath the tray, great for storing small items like writing utensils if your using your lap tray for work. Others have places for silverware and a cup; perfect for holding things in place while your eating. You’re sure to find the lap tray to meet all your needs as long as you know what you are looking for!
