Exactly what I was needing!  I shopped around quite a bit and was having a hard time finding a tray table that would work well with my recliner.  This one is perfect!  It comes up right close and across my lap.  I wouldn't suggest putting anything heavy on the table or that anyone lean up against it.  I think the screws would probably pop out if that were the case.  You could probably always put longer screws in it to make it a little more sturdy.  It's worked out really well for me and has been the perfect companion to my recliner.
