I bought this prior to having hip replacement surgery to ensure I could use my laptop comfortably. I have an adjustable base bed and so it worked great for the post op recovery and I still use it all the time for the same purpose. It would work well for eating in bed, but I have not actually done that!In an unexpected turn that required home health care for a family member, this piece has been invaluable to their comfort. Heavy duty base, lighter weight plastic top is easy to clean, although I wish the top was a bit more sturdy.Overall, I'd highly recommend this piece.This tray looks great but to maneuver the tray up and down is a nightmare since day one! Do yourself a favor and INVEST in something that actually functions well and suits your needsThis table was very easy to assemble, and after using it for a week I am very pleased with its sturdiness and functionality. Well worth the money.I would like the to be thicker.Assembly, Moving and Cleanup. A+ in my book!GOOD SPACE, EASY TO MANUEVERReally like this table. It's sturdy, rolls well, well made ( I did check my welds based on the other reviews and found no problem with those), and much nicer than the ones in the actual rehab hospital. The one piece poly top cleans up very easily from any sort of mess and the lip keeps items like pens and stylus tools for ipads from rolling off. Very happy with our purchase!This over-bed table has been a great addition to the list of items needed for my daughter's care who is in a hospital bed at home. It is strong enough to hold her meals, phones, small other items; it slides easily on wooden floor; it is easy to clean, it is ample enough including length to have easy access to much items such as phones; it is easy to assemble; it is not heavy. The quality is excellent, plus, as an extra, it looks nice, and the price we paid is worth it. Yes, I would recommend this item.This is a terrific table. I wanted something that did not look like it belonged in a hospital and this fits the bill.Large surface area allows you to spread out. Rolls easily. Very sturdy and easy to keep clean.Assez facile à assembler. Le paquet est lourd mais bon, ça va avec la robustesse du produit. Très satisfait malgré le que le prix soit un petit peu élevé, mais c'est le prix qu'il faut payer pour la qualité. Je n'avais pas tellement le choix dans les tables que j'ai trouvé car mon lit est très élevé (lit ajustable) et je voulais quelque chose de solide.After having tried less expensive models I found that they were much to finicky and prone to difficulties in their function. This unit while substantially higher in cost (read 2.5-3x), it actually works and works well. It is considerably sturdier, it actually works as it should and is stronger and can hold more weight, plus it has a much better base setup. Too bad it is difficult to find and is discontinued by the supplier.This side table is used on a daily basis at a retirement home. We have bought other side tables and this one is the best so far. Very easy to keep clean and the white table top will blend with any decor. The lever to adjust the height adjustability is easy to use, very functional and durable. Highly recommended for the price.
