Thanks, I took a look but didn’t see anything large enough for the iMac. There are some great looking products on that site.

We carry two nice wood folding TV trays. Plenty sturdy, and they serve double duty if you want to sit on the couch and eat while watching the TV.

I have my 27 inch iMac on a folding table and can adjust it to a good height for the keyboard. It has a thick plastic top and metal legs that cross like an X. I think I got it at Costco but have seen them elsewhere.

I made a table that fits over my steering wheel and holds my large laptop. Just had to add some legs underneath to keep it from sliding off and I also added an extension on the side for the mouse. I can leave the computer out all the time while parked and it's not in the way. I can take a picture of it if you are interested.

Can you let me know the manufacturer of your table. Thanks.

The folding TV trays I’ve looked at are shorter than I am wanting for computer work. Thanks for the idea.

Some pictures of my computer table

Here is one more picture. You can see I added some angles to the bottom to keep it some sliding off the steering wheel. I added a stop at the bottom to keep the computer from sliding down. I attached the mouse table at an angle so that it would be horizontal to the floor. I have to tilt the steering wheel all the way up and then have to run my seat all the way up, and then it's comfortable.

They are made by several manufacturers although the design is essentially the same. These a pretty sturdy and I would think they would hold 70 pound. Just enough room for my 27 inch iMac, keyboard and mouse. I do a lot of image processing on this guy. I also use these tables for cooking outside and two as a dining table for outside.

CW carries these as well. The have a black model on sale now for 20 bucks.
