A lap desk (10) is disclosed which has a base (12) which mounts a lid (14) through hinges (16, 18). The base (12), on three sides, defines tray attachment sections (40) for external attachment of one or more trays (38) to carry accessories. The lid (14) has cutout sections (50, 52, 54) which permit the lid to be moved between the open and closed position and used in the closed position with the trays (38) supported on the base (12). The base (12) can be provided with a storage lip (64) which receives the trays within the compartment (32) within the base (12) for storage.
