Abstract
A self adjusting lap table includes a strap to maintain the table in a coiled position when not in use. When used the storage strap is released and the lap table is uncoiled and placed on the users lap. When the table is placed on the users lap it tends to return to the coiled position causing the table edges to grip the users legs. Openings in the table top provide locations to insert drinking cups or other items.
