Why they’ll love it
Creates a stable surface for reading, note-taking or puzzles without tying them to a desk.
Useful across a sofa, armchair or bed, then easy to put away when the room is shared.
How to pick a good one
The top should be wide enough for their largest book without becoming cumbersome. A cushioned or shaped underside is more comfortable than a bare board, and a modest lip stops books sliding. Tablet slots and cup holders sound useful, but can reduce the flat space available for reading and writing.
