wall-mount laptop desk?

[thiswillbe]

Does anyone have this or something similar? It's on sale for $133 today, and I'm tempted. I hate having our laptops sitting out on the couch/side tables all the time.

ETA: I'm also curious if anyone knows about the quality of Home Decorators' stuff. This is also for sale at Brookstone, but I don't know the quality of their furniture-type stuff either.

No idea on the quality, but I like it.

We bought an entryway table 3-4 years ago. Still looks great!

No idea on the wall desk.

I don't love or hate the wall mount desk, but I know it would never get used here. I keep our power chords concealed under the couch so that helps a bit, and then I set my laptop on our bookshelf which is accessible from the couch. H takes his to work everyday so I don't fuss about it being on the coffee table in the evenings.

I'm fairly anal about organization and aesthetics, but I've resigned myself to some electronics being visible. We live here and it has to be functional too.

Oh, yes. This is less about aesthetics and more about the fact that I just lost an $800 laptop, courtesy of the kids pushing it off the side table. Sigh.

I don't think I'm going to buy one, but I may try to DIY something similar.

Thanks, everyone, for the input!

I would look into something different, this has just as much potential for it to be knocked off as a table does and the idea of putting a computer away after use while it is still toasty into an enclosed wood area that will let it slow bake for awhile makes me nervous.
