I already have a bed table tray that is larger but bought this specifically for the sections that hold a tablet and phone at viewing angle. it definitely does that. The interesting thing about this table is that it had small metal attachments at the tray base that fit into a small hole at the top of each leg that lock the legs open and prevent movement from causing the legs to fold and collapse with food or liquid or on it. That is new and unusual but also smart. If you have had a tray collapse this way, you can appreciate this new device. However, you also need to keep in mind that if you want to fold the legs, it isn't a one-handed process anymore, you have to disengage the metal part to be able to close the legs. So, there is that too. Overall, I am happy with this tray. It is somewhat thin in the top surface, it is light because it is bamboo, but it is sufficient and I think it will hold up if not treated roughly. It definitely fulfills its purpose.
