Customer Ratings & Reviews

For aesthetics alone, the Casa Pop-Up Desk "Work From Home" Kit deserves a 5-Star rating. It is a dynamically designed accessory that causes anyone who sees it to take a second look, and most ask, "WOW! Where can I get one of those?" The pop-up design is unique and functional, all at the same time. In so many ways I felt almost sad to give it a 3-Star review. Out of the box, the Casa pop-up is beautiful. It comes in three different colors, Nordic Calm, Bohemian Blush, and Classic Chic. I have the privilege of owning the Classic Chic, a beautifully rich forest green with a several-shades-lighter security strap. Truly remarkable. Well, okay, perhaps not forest green…many would call it teal colored. Regardless, it’s a knockout! As you can see by the photos, the product is packaged as if it is going to a royal dignitary. The band, the protective coverings, and the wonderful layout of the product placement all combine to create a stunning piece of eye-catching artwork. As I started the review off, the aesthetics deserve a resounding 5-Star rating. After unpacking everything and glancing through the quick-start guide, I felt as though I knew all there was to know, and went to work setting it up and connecting the keyboard and touchpad to my Asus laptop. With zero effort other than to place the keyboard and touchpad in pairing mode, the laptop recognized both immediately and in a moment both were paired (via BlueTooth) and connected. Or so I thought. The keyboard worked flawlessly. It takes a bit of getting used to due to its rather very-minimalist footprint. As I’m sure you know, once you get used to a certain size and layout of a keyboard, any change, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can create quite the learning curve. I can’t brag enough about the many features of the keyboard…emoji shortcut, dictation function, easy-switch keys (which allow for quickly being able to use the keyboard on other devices), to name a few. I did find the emojis were limited in number, and many common emojis simply weren’t found at all. It is apparent that whoever came up with these emojis was a cat-lover as there were 19 cat emojis, and sadly, only four for dogs. The touchpad is a completely different story. Pairing and connecting the Casa touchpad was as easy as its counterpart. The only problem is that it simply did not work. Now, when I say I tried everything to try and get the touchpad to work with my laptop, I really mean everything. Between tech support and countless websites and forums, I spent over three hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the touchpad. But before chalking it up to a non-working touchpad, I decided to take it to work and see if it would pair, connect, AND work on my laptop there. With no issues whatsoever, the touchpad was up and running in a matter of seconds, just like the keyboard. Earlier I stated that I had countless positive comments regarding how crazy beautiful the Casa Pop-Up is, and equally countless questions about where to get one. I quite proudly let them know BestBuy is, in my opinion, the best place to get one. As I packed it up at the close of the workday, I felt excited that perhaps I had made a simple error in setting the touchpad up at home. However, after arriving home, going through the setup process again, the touchpad still did not work. The only thing that I can figure is that it has something to do with “Precision Touchpad.” My device settings and descriptions on my work laptop specifically stated the onboard touchpad was a Precision one. The settings on my home laptop made no mention of being or not being “Precision.” Well, I guess you can’t win them all. In and of itself, the touchpad issue probably wouldn’t warrant a 3-Star rating. But for some reason, Logitech opted for a very small “stop” upon which to secure the laptop in place on the pop-up desk. If someone only slightly bumped my workstation, the laptop would hop over the stops and slide down the surface of the pop-up. There is no way to adjust the height of the stops, so you just have to live with the fact that if you work in a busy environment where kids, spouses and pets are running around, you are going to have to reset your laptop perhaps several times a day. Of course this won’t be an issue if your at-home workspace if off limits to all of the above. All in all, I believe the Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk is a remarkably unique and useful product. Had it not been for the connectivity issues and the too-short stops, I would have gladly given it a Five-Star rating, instead of Three-Stars.

The Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk is an interesting concept. It’s meant to be a portable desk for your laptop that also conveniently houses a small keyboard and a tracking pad inside. The outside cover is like a journal in aesthetics and feel. It’s covered in a soft, canvas like material with an elastic strap. I doubt that, unless they were familiar with this product, anyone would guess what the item truly was. I would lower your expectations a bit in execution, though. I first tried the Casa Pop-Up Desk with my ASUS Zenbook. The laptop was a bit heavy for the Casa – the laptop stood for a bit before the Casa collapsed. No harm, no foul – nothing damaged. Then I tried it with my HP Dragonfly. A better fit. My Zenbook is a flip laptop/tablet hybrid; the Dragonfly is not. I could adjust the ASUS screen to my preferred angle for viewing. The HP is limited as to how far back you can move the screen. The angle was a little uncomfortable for me, but doable. The Casa held this laptop well during a Zoom call. No issues. I would say the lighter the laptop, the better. This would be nice to use with a tablet, such as an iPad. The keyboard, however, was too small for me to use comfortably. No 10-key, but I wasn’t expecting that, considering it’s supposed to be a portable keyboard. My hands were close together (closer than I’m used to) while typing. While I appreciate the idea, I’m not sure how often I will use it. It’s more comfortable than trying to use the keyboard on my laptop (because of the angle of the laptop) but I made a lot of spelling errors while trying to type at my normal speed. The keyboard came from the box with 55% charge, so I could test it right away. The trackpad, however, had no charge at all. I’d recommend charging both before using. The Case does come with a USB-C cable; you’ll need to provide your own power brick if you wish to charge via a household outlet. The tracking pad is nice. I’m not in love with tracking pads on laptops in general, but the angle and size of the pad is nice. I think it’s a nice unit and would be good for someone who often works remotely/off-site. That said, for the price point, I expected more.

It was neat being portable but it’s too much I rather have my old fashion one with the actual mouse the carrying case is great.

Nice package but wish the touchpad was better. Apple seems to be the only one making an actually good touchpad. Keyboard is ok, the stand is very nice but wish it took up less space.

This was difficult to use due to the lack of flexible stand

The stand sometimes pushes out over the front lip and my laptop flops down. I am using a ROD Duo 16. So might be a good setup if you have a narrower lighter laptop.
