I don't know if anyone else works from bed a lot like I do. But this new table my husband got is AMAZING. It's really big. My old table didn't have room for my big computer and def not a mouse. It has a little book stand and a drawer for my earbuds or coffee/tea. Super sturdy legs. Highly recommend!
