Abstract: A portable, ergonomic work structure for designing and viewing scrapbook layouts. The desktop device includes a tabletop that contains magnets to which a layout mat may be removably attached. The layout mat is preferably a ferromagnetic sheet on which a scrapbook layout can be held in place by removable magnets. The tabletop preferably includes a foldable support to allow the layout to be viewed at an angle and to reduce the desktop table's footprint on the working surface. In order for the layout mat to be held securely to the tabletop while in use, the surface of the magnets in contact with the layout mat are raised slightly above the tabletop surface.
