I got one for my birthday, from 'Bed, Bath & Beyond' which was about $20-25 
before their monthly 20%-OFF sale. The top tilts up for some keyboard slant, it 
has a slot/tray for pens, and a little storage on either side for a few books or 
listings. Intended for bed use, okay in a chair, tilts up enough to hold a book 
if you want.
