12" x 30-34" Wide Laptop Wood Tray for Recliner Dinner Carved Lap Desk OPTIONAL Tablet Slot Vent Ridges Book holder Cell Mug Wine Holders
$155.00 – $233.00
A big laptop needs a big board. Most 17 inch laptops run about 10 to 11 inches front to back — set one on a 10 inch tray and it covers the whole thing, with the front edge hanging over and nowhere left for a mouse, a notepad or the coffee.
A carved wood recliner tray made to order at 30 to 34 inches long and a full 12 inches deep, so a large laptop sits fully on the board with working room in front of it.
Who it suits:
- A 16 or 17 inch laptop that overhangs everything else you've tried
- Laptop plus a mouse, or laptop plus a notebook, side by side instead of stacked
- Eating in the chair instead of at the table
- Caring for someone recovering at home, where the chair does the work of a table
- Puzzles, crafts and card games in the recliner
Your choice of pine, poplar, cedar, oak, cherry, mahogany or black walnut. Every edge gets a double round-over, top and bottom, so there's no hard corner where your forearms rest — you notice that on a deeper tray. Three coats of urethane.
Wood is a natural product with variations and may include stabilized knots, so no two laptop desks will be identical. Wood will be edge glued to achieve the requested width. If you want a board that is not edge glued or want a "live edge" look contact me for a quote.
Weight is about 4.25 to 5 pounds in pine or poplar, and about 7.25 to 8.25 pounds in white oak, with cedar, mahogany, cherry and walnut in between. Finish and options move it slightly.
Choose your finish — no extra charge, any of the three.
Matte: flat, no shine. Shows the grain, hides fingerprints.
Satin: soft low sheen. Most popular, most forgiving.
Gloss: high shine, wipes cleanest, shows every water spot.
How options are counted — $9 each. Choose the number in the "# Of Options" dropdown, then list them in the personalization box.
Counts as 1: wine glass slot · shot glass depression · coffee mug depression · tablet/iPad slot · cell phone depression · engraved phrase or name carved into the wood, up to about 20 characters including spaces (longer than that needs a custom quote — just message me) · votive candle holders (up to 3) · laptop vent holes, which go through the board · hole cut out on one end for hanging, rectangular or circular · non-slip grips on the underside
Counts as 2: set of 2 metal handles · stain (available for pine) · risers, if you'd like the tray higher than the armrests, up to 4" tall · laptop vent ridges, carved 1/8" deep for extra airflow — these do not go through the board
Counts as 3: book stand, which also gives you the ability to use it as a tablet slot · backstop, which stops pens and pencils rolling off the back and helps prevent bowing
NOTE: Vent holes and vent ridges are two different things: holes go all the way through, ridges are shallow channels carved into the surface.
Plain tray? Choose "Base (No options)" and type NONE.
List more than you selected and I'll message you with the difference before I start — no work begins until we agree.
Consider adding a "CraftedLink" to your purchase:
A Tap-to-open NFC tag upgrade to any CraftedCarvingsUS product. I can set a small NFC tag into the board, invisible from the front, or I can carve an NFC symbol to help you locate it. Tap it with a phone and whatever you choose opens.

At checkout:
1. Wood and number of options — the two dropdowns above Add to Cart. These set the price.
2. Requested Options — list each one, including any text if requested with font choice. Type NONE for a plain tray.
3. Size — choose up to the stated size for both length and width.
4. Finish — choose from matte, satin, or gloss polyurethane
I'll send a mockup showing where everything lands on the board before I cut anything.
FAQ:
Is 12 inches too deep? It depends on your laptop. If yours is 15 inches or smaller, the 10 inch version does the job and is lighter to lift on and off. At 16 or 17 inches, or if you run a mouse on the tray, 12 inches is the one you want.
How do I pick a length? Measure the outside of both arms where the tray will rest. Order that number if you want it sitting close to the arms, or go longer on purpose if you want overhang, plenty of buyers size up so the handle cutout hangs completely clear of the armrest and is easy to grab.
What holds a drink? A wine glass slot holds from the base with the stem hanging below; shot glass and coffee mug depressions are shallow recesses. One count each.
Can it sit higher than the armrests? Yes — risers raise it up to 4 inches, and count as 2 options.
How do I clean it? Damp cloth, then dry it. No soaking, no dishwasher.
