Most wooden folding TV trays are easy to put away. When finished with one, fold down the one side and position them back in their base stand. While not all stands or folding mechanisms are the same for these portable trays, rarely are they difficult to fold and store.
If you have just one tray, simply fold down the collapsible side and tuck the tray, creating a streamlined piece of furniture to store in closets, under the bed, or against the wall out of the way. The legs may be squared or come in an X-shape and lock in place when in use. Occasionally these mechanisms will stick, requiring you to use a little more force to get the fold started.
If you have a set of wooden folding TV trays, you’ll most likely have a simple base to store them in whenever not in use. Fold the tray down to its smallest size and hang on the base, or slide into the base depending on its design.
