I love it.
Just to nitpick - why not make a frame for the keyboard too? You could make it with an ergonomic wrist rest at the front, and pwetty carved strips round sides and along the top.
Seriously - I moved a few months ago to a couch + laptop because 12-15 hours a day (quite often)upright in a chair was doing my circulation bad things. Feet slightly higher than my gut has done wonders for my health. It's also damnably comfy.
BUT I haven't been able to find anything good as a wooden tray on my lap to a) ventilate underneath and b) give me extra space for a mouse, pen and cuppa c) keep the keyboard from moving much. My knees are getting calloused!
So far I'm using a light basketwork tray, upending it so the edges act as legs. Something better would be so nice.
