Very useful, stable, overbed table
This table is excellent.<br /><br />I bought this table for multiple uses.  For the most part, we don't need a medical bed table per se, but we do benefit from it.<br />Personally, I've only been in the hospital for births, so really only positive expereinces.  The 2 things I've always missed when coming home are the adjustable bed, and the super handy overbed tables.<br /><br />This is why I purchased the table.  It's handy. I've used it to work on my computer in bed, study and write notes.  Sometimes it's nice to be able to snuggle with a chld while helping them them with a lesson.  In the past, I've used lap desks, and they work, but you can't more, iwhen you do mov you have to reconfigure the lab desk and re-stabalize it.  Wiht a wiggly kid, that can be nearly impossible.<br /><br />The pverbed table is perfect, it rolls under the bedframe so that you can positition the table where you need it.<br /><br />WE LOVE it.  My husband already wants one for his side of the bed too..  (yes he gets to borrow mine)<br /><br />The table itself is very sturdy.  It lists a 40 pound limit.  I've not tried to test that, but it feels like it would handle fine.<br />It was not hard to assemble.  There are 6 screws to hold the main mount to the table.<br />The caster wheels simple push in - just make sure the locking wheels are on the long pols side so that they are outside the bed, but under it if you want to lock them.)<br />Then there is a screw that needs to be removed to allow the height adjustment to work, and then a very small one to put in it's place.<br /><br />The height adjust works flawlessly.  It goes up quite high.  Our bed is pretty high to begin with so I was a little concerned, but it does lift high enough for our bed.<br /><br />The table moves smoothly on the caster wheels. I would trust having food or a drink on it and moving it around.  It's does not bounce or shake as it's moved.  We do have low carpet in our bedroom as well and it rolls just fine with good stability.<br /><br />The only minor issue I had with the table - 1 of the 6 pre-drilled holes for the screws that attach to the table was not drilled right.  For now, I installed 5 screws - the missing one is not on a corner, which makes it less of a concern).  When he has time I will let my husband install the last screw. It's plenty stable though, without it.<br /><br />I would love to use this table in my living-room, but unfortunately at the moment out couches are very very low to the ground and this could not fit under them.  I've never seen any type of table that has a small enough base to slide under these couches.  This is in no way a reflection of this product, it's not intended to work under any couch and ours is especially low to the ground.  I just love the table enough that I wish I could use it there too.<br /><br />If one of us did need to spend an extended period of time in bed, this would be an invaluable tool.  I can't recommend it enough for anyone that it's essentially bed ridden or mostly immobile.
