Abstract: The present invention discloses a portable, foldable reading tray. The reading tray includes a pair of tray members which is hinged to each other and pivotable between an operative position defining a desktop surface adapted to be inclined relative to the horizontal, and a stored position defining a hollow interior within said pair of tray members. At least one leg is coupled to each tray member and movable between an operative position supporting the desktop surface and a stored position within the hollow interior. A bolster is coupled to and extends across the desktop surface when in the operative position. A light may be coupled to one tray member and movable to a stored position wherein the light is protected by the bolster.
