I've been looking for a slanted writing surface, and this may be just the thing.

I hope they've fixed the warping issues!

Good to know, and glad there are other options!

I would probably tend to make my own out of scrap lumber. But those look way nicer :D

That was my blog :). The first box I received warped terribly. I dismantled it and tried using the two halves as nightstand trays (didn't want to waste the walnut) but they wouldn't sit flat and they warped more over time. My second box warped rather badly but seems to have recovered a little bit and is still just about usable. Galen said they'd send me a third box with a different design, but I've heard nothing from them since then.
