AutoExecAUE25050 Efficiency FileMaster Car Desk Mahogany Finish

I mostly love this thing. I'd caution you before you buy to make sure this model fits your needs. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because there are a few things I am less happy with and wish were explained or pictured before purchase. Let's break this down.First I use this in a law enforcement capacity. This sits in my passenger seat and holds paperwork, warrants, odds and ends, Kleenex, a travel size hair removal tape roller, and such. I have modified mine slightly by supergluing a neodymium magnet right where the half circle has been cut out of the rubber mat. I have a small cup of paper clips that I have taped an additional magnet into the bottom, and they sit fairly securely in that spot now. If I put a clipboard on the table portion and knock the cup loose then it is hopefully saved by the files sticking out of the top of the desk, otherwise I know have some cleaning to do. And it's super important to make sure they are all cleaned up, because you know what is perfect for picking the lock on a pair of handcuffs....? I am happy with my modification, but that part of the desk could easily have included some sort of recess or receptacle.The file portion on top of the desk.....The biggest problem I have is that there is not a contained bottom to the opening. You snap in the plastic portion that sticks up. This gives you a place to hang the hanging folders, but inside the cubby, anything down there competes with space with the hanging files. Which leads to folders sticking too far up, being squashed against the back wall, or not opening wide enough when you want to stick something in them, because they are squashed closed. If you don't put hanging file folders in there, and try just sticking paperwork in there then they will slide right out the hole for the cubby and end up in your lap. I would LOVE to have a rectangle box that fits there that is completely contained on the bottom. This is probably my BIGGEST gripe with this model.The small recesses along the back edge...meh. I haven't really found much use for them. They are deep, and somewhat oddly shaped. Just as you see in the picture. If you put pens in there they disappear deep enough that you'd have to dig one out with a finger. The file portion that is along the backside is great. I really don't have any issues with that part. It holds the hanging folders nicely, and if you don't want to use hanging folders you don't have to. You can stick paperwork straight up and it will stand above about 3.5-4 inches. You don't HAVE to strap this down with your seat belt, depending on your car. I am driving a 2009 Dodge Charger, and there is about a 4 inch gap between the front of the desk and my dash. Just enough to sometimes stick a metal clipboard (resting on a duty bag I have in the floorboard). I can't get to the duty bag too easily, but it's not completely cut off either.I also have an Uncle Mike's seat organizer hanging on the passenger seat. I'm still working out the best fit. If you hang it on the seat headrest like you're supposed to, it will cover the back receptacles so I've zip tied it to the roll bar on my prisoner partition. This keeps it up and out of the way, but doesn't supply the back support it needs to stay flat backed. It's starting to taco a little bit. I'll figure it out. The cubby is nice....kinda becomes a hole for junk sometimes. Whatever you put in there that doesn't touch the bottom will likely slide right out and on your lap when you turn...but I am using a police center console, so it's much lower than your's probably will be, and therefore you may not have that problem. I like that the wood portion is sturdy. I may mount a holster to the bottom inside the cubby in case I need to grab a weapon quickly and I’m off duty or it’s just easier to get to. The rubber coating on the desk is pretty grabby. Whatever is seated on it won’t slide, but whatever is on top of that thing most certainly will end up in your lap or on the console….sometimes accidentally activating lighting, radio, PA, or other police equipment depending on your console setup.Beyond that I can’t think of much else to say about it. The desk works great, it’s a big help sometimes, but sometimes I wish it stuck out more, or slid out. That brings me to my first point, make sure it’s going to fit your needs vs. other models. I need a computer mount and a printer mounted in my vehicle now. It seems I am going to have to find a way to modify this one or but another…and they aren’t cheap.

After a career in working from my car, I thought I should finally get something to get better organized. This fits perfectly in my passenger seat and I can easily lift it out and move from vehicle to vehicle as needed. I do not strap it in because there are only a few inches from the dash to the organizer and no need to buckle in. I love that it has a non-skid surface on top so my cell phone can be placed there and stays put! Makes me wish I'd gotten this a long time ago!

I ordered this item through Amazon, fulfilled by EZ Truckstore, but it was supposed to include the 200watt inverter. It did not. It IS on my receipt. I called EZ Truckstore at 12:47 pm on a Friday, and got a recording saying to leave a message, and no way to leave a message. This purchase is useless to me without the inverter, as it’s sole purpose was to be a printer stand in my mobile office.If EZ Truckstore gets back to me, and I’m satisfied with the results, I’ll update this review.

This is my second one of these car desks and it is a must have for any traveling salesperson. Very sturdy construction with plenty of storage for files and price books. It is secured with the seat belt and can be very easily removed and but in the back seat if you have a passenger. The non stick surface is great for a laptop but will wear out over time. If it weren't for that you would not need to replace it.

It's a bit heavy but does a great job of keeping your work vehicle organized. We use these with our sales team. Each has a wireless printer attached to the top with velcro and sales materials in the bins provided.

I travel a lot for work, and this desk has made it so much easier to organize everything I need! It's lightweight enough to move in and out of the car easily. Since it's fastened with the seatbelt it keeps everything from going on the floor if I have to brake hard. Highly recommend!

This works great in my Chevy Colorado. I work from my truck and this makes using my laptop easy. Keeps things in place. A little pricey but works very well.

Love this, I use it everyday in my car.It’s like sitting at my desk and working, love having the files to put my folders in after each client. One folder for completed and one for next clients.Definitely would recommend!!!!

This thing is a beauty. Works like a charm for anyone that finds their vehicle their Mobile office. Greatly reduced the paperwork from ending up on the floor.

Works/fits really well in my Ford Escape, but truly overpriced for what it is. Too bad. I would have gotten an upgraded version.
