man you guys are way behind! I ran into this problem 5 years ago...did the laptop on the armrest thing until my back started growing sideways..All this time thinking of a simple solution to exactly the problem described above..I Had several temporary ideas set up..one snapped..one got in the way too much..and some that were just too plain ugly to keep around. This couch office is a functional prototype. It is by far a proper design. But it works..for hours a day i do my design work from this couch!

Since then I have been working on a final design for this idea. The prototype is almost ready.
The new version fits under any couch or sofa..Its far more compact..it's adjusable in more ways and has an easy to use wiring solution.
Ikea here I come!..
