I bought this table to go over my husband's lift/recliner chair.  It's easy to pull it up for his breakfast meal thus enabling him to enjoy a meal without getting up.  He's handicapped.  I plan to put a sealer over the top to repel liquid or food that may get spilled.  I thought the cost was quite reasonable.  This table will save me from having to move him to his wheelchair, and then to the kitchen table.  He can also work puzzles, read, or do other projects.  Suggestion:  purchase some metal, hammer on tips for the legs so it's easier to move - especially over carpeting.
