The reading desk can be attached to a room ceiling and can also hold a personal mobile terminal. Overall, the invention provides a convenient and comfortable way to read books or use other personal mobile terminals in a laying position.

Problems solved by technology

This makes it impossible for a patient suffering from backache, a physically disabled patient or a handicapped person to use the reading desk.

Further, when children and ordinary persons sit on chairs to read books for a long time, their postures become unstable, for example, their bodies tend to incline or lean to one side.

Particularly, reading for a long time causes serious side effects, such as severe curvature of the spine, in growing young students.

However, since such reading desks are not suitable for use in a sitting position, they cannot be easily used by children and ordinary persons.

Particularly, the large size of the reading desks makes it difficult to store when not in use.
