The desk is crafted from high-quality 3/4″ bamboo, which provides durability and brings a natural aesthetic to your mobile setup. It boasts a universal fit that is compatible with various vehicles, including the Tacoma. Designed to offer ample room (8.5″ depth from the wheel plane, 11.5″ overall, and 22.5″ width), the desk is engineered to support heavier items like laptops, meals, or documents, making it an ideal accessory for professionals on the go.
Set Up
One of the standout features is its ease of “installation,” if you can even call it that. The desk attaches securely to most steering wheels without the need for additional tools. Within seconds, you can convert your vehicle into a mobile office.
The design ensures a snug fit, and once mounted, the desk offers a sturdy platform that stays in place during use. It’s important to note, and should be obvious, that the desk is intended for use only when the vehicle is stationary and parked.
Usability
The Wheel Desk excels in this area, providing a stable and spacious work surface. Its robust bamboo construction means you can confidently place a full-sized laptop or even enjoy a meal without worrying about wobbling. The wide surface area ensures your essentials are within easy reach, making it a versatile addition to your vehicle. Whether you’re catching up on emails during a break or simply need a temporary desk to jot down ideas, this is your accessory.
Compared To Similar Products
Compared to other steering wheel desks on the market, BamBeds’ offering stands out for its generous dimensions and robust build quality. While many alternatives may offer a thinner, less stable surface, its dense build and wide platform provide an edge in durability and functionality. Its universal fitment also means it can easily be moved between vehicles.
Real-World Testing
I tested the desk as an office and table for a quick meal on the road. In both situations, it performed just as I would expect.
In the past, I have tried to work on my laptop in my truck, and finding a comfortable position was usually a struggle. With the Wheel Desk, my laptop sits at the perfect height and angle to not hurt my wrist or back, just like in the office.
It’s also the perfect place to lay out your lunch on the go. Most of us use a combination of our lap, the center console, and maybe the dash to lay out our meals, so this makes it much easier to eat without making a mess or dropping food.
Final Thoughts
The BamBeds Wheel Desk is an excellent accessory for anyone looking to maximize productivity on the go. Its innovative design, durable materials, and universal fit make it a standout choice for truck owners, remote workers, and overlanders alike.
While it can’t be used while driving, its benefits far outweigh this limitation for those who need a temporary mobile workspace. For the price, it offers great value for its quality and convenience.
By transforming your steering wheel into a functional desk, BamBeds has truly reimagined mobile workspaces. Whether setting up a quick mobile office or grabbing a quick bite to eat on the go, this innovative accessory is poised to redefine productivity. If you’re looking to steer your productivity in a new direction, this might be the perfect tool to help you get there.
