Abstract: A portable, lightweight desk designed for comfortable performance by being simple, compact, and designed to provide easy adjustment to a desirable angular position for the work surface during a task of reading, drawing, or even painting, while pertinent equipment and supplies are available within an enclosed storage space. The portable desk was especially constructed to provide a desk which is available for many tasks while storing pertinent components. The desk will have a trim, sleek, and well-designed appearance. I have particularly constructed the surface of the lower member to be covered with a soft material to be comfortable on the user's lap. The user may then comfortably read, write, or draw when in a relaxed position. I have found a component of foam plastic efficient in use as a book support to maintain page control.
