Medical Pneumatic Adjustable Tilt Overbed Bedside Table with Wheels for Hospital and Home Use

My wife was recovering from surgery, so we got this table to help her out. It's really great. Assembly took 20 min, it rolls nicely, adjusts easily, and is a great value for the cost.

We got this table in advance of an upcoming need. It looks nice enough. The split table, allowing the main part to tilt and keeping the side table level, seems really useful. The rim will definitely keep laptops, phones, or pencils from sliding off. The table is rated at 30+ lbs and seems sturdy enough. It also seems to adjust nicely to accommodate a high mattress. It's very easy to assemble. Took maybe 10 minutes, if not less. No frustrations. Instructions are clear. A couple of reactions: 1. The edging around the table is not very thick at the point it might hit your wrists or arms if the table is level. Not really comfortable, at least in my short try. If you tilt it, the issue goes away. 2. I'd suggest a socket wrench instead of an adjustable wrench for setting the bolts that connect the table to the leg. 3. There's a small screw for locking the adjustable leg during transport. The manufacturer suggests saving it, but there's nowhere to keep it. I ended up taping it to the bottom of the table because if I put it anywhere else, it's the same as pitching it. It's a hack, and probably I don't need to keep the screw, but it's the kind of thing that is just annoying. 4. The tables are packed using styrofoam (that isn't marked for recycling). It'd be nicer if a compostable packing material was used instead.

This table is not the high quality of something you would find in a hospital, but it’s more than fine for you and me at home. Assembly was extremely easy needing only a wrench, a screwdriver and a rubber mallet. The wrench is used to tighten the two bolts that hold the stand to the table. The screw driver is used to push the adjustment bar through the tube to allow you to put on the adjustment knob and to remove that black screw. The rubber mallet is for pounding the casters into the base. I just didn’t have enough strength in my arthritic old hands to push them in. I suppose you could use a block of wood and a regular hammer if you don’t have a rubber mallet. You just don’t want to damage the casters trying to get them pushed into place. Up and down are both controlled by the same lever. None of that hit the bottom of the table with your knee and it pops up. The tilt function works good and is perfect for working on the laptop in bed. (My bed can raise and lower the back and feet.) I did notice that once assembled that the large tilting table was about a quarter of an inch lower than the small table. Irrelevant to me, but it might matter to some folks. I like that this table is so big. There is plenty of room for my laptop and an external keyboard. Having the non tilting side table is a plus for holding drinks, snacks or other things you don’t want sliding into your lap. I just leave the table tilted so I don’t have to mess with the adjustment knob. I did have a couple of minor issues. The table arrived with some minor damage on the edge underneath the large table. It’s only about half an inch long and was clearly done during manufacturing, I will never see it again and it doesn’t affect the tables performance so I accepted it. The other issue was a little more involved. Once assembly was complete, I found that the small table had a slight wobble. I couldn’t just leave this as I knew it would drive me crazy. There’s no way to adjust for the wobble, but I did come up with a solution. First, I took the table tops off. On the small table there are two little notches in the tube that lock it in place. These notches are ever so slightly too big causing the slight wobble. I simply slightly squeezed the end of the tube where the notches were with a set of vice grips. I only put the vice grips about half way on the tube as I only wanted to bend the end of the tube. After doing this, I reassembled the table and the wobble was gone. I’ve included three pictures. One showing the minor damage. One showing the little notches in the tube and one showing how I used the vice grips. I suggest testing your table for wobble before completing assembly so you can fix it, if it exists on your table, before you finish putting the thing together. That little black screw that you replace with another screw once assembly is complete simply keeps the table mechanism from moving up or down during shipping. The world is not going to end if the first thing you do is remove that screw. Remove it and the table now functions correctly. The screw you replace that black screw with has only one purpose. To fill that hole. It does nothing more. This is a decent functional table with only minor resolvable issues. I’m more than satisfied with and expect to get years of use out of it.

Bought this to make a "music station" for playing guitar out in my workshop. Plenty of room for sheet music or my laptop. And the side tray works great for my mouse and cup of coffee. I even mounted a boom microphone arm and mic to the small table. The small table has just a bit of wobble with the weight of the microphone so I reinforced that. Shouldn't be an issue for most normal purposes. I added a shelf on the bottom for some of my guitar gear. Now everything is on the stand and it rolls around easily when I need to move it around.

It works well and easy to move around. I wish the table top was actual wood or a sturdier material rather than hard plastic. Makes the table top a bit flimsy for the price.

Very easy and fast to put together. Good quality all the way around. I recommend this product.

A great solution for reading or eating in bed.

July 8, 2020 update. Replaced the top pieces this thing came with for reasons below. Made custom top pieces out of solid walnut, put a tung oil finish on it, two coats. Now it's convenient, useful and a pleasure to use. See the images. I've had this for about a month. Easy to assemble, yes. sturdy, yes, easy to move around, yes. Using it is outright painful though. Look at the picture I posted, screenshot of one of the seller's pictures. Note the high, thin edge all the way around both top pieces. The edge of the molding has a thin hard vertical edge that you have no choice but to lay your wrists across when using it with a your laptop and that is a big problem. It cuts off blood circulation to your hands, it digs into your wrists and is painful when you lay your wrists across it. It's all the way around both top pieces so there is no getting away from it. Wish I hadn't bought it now. The only way I can see to make this usable is to remove the two top pieces and use them as a template to make my own top pieces without this kind of edge molding. I work for a manufacturing company over 20 years now, I have worked in product management and engineering over the years, to me this seems to be a product that the designers never tried out themselves because within a couple of minutes of use you will be dealing with these edges that dig into your wrists and cause pain and cut off blood circulation to your hands. Poor design, painful to use, I would not recommend this product to anyone unless they get rid of that edge molding.

I have been using the overbed table on a daily base for the last twenty days. I did not rush to write a review till I get my time to use the table. The delivery was quick with no problem. Assembly was relatively easy. The manual could be improved and show steps clearly. The last step of removing an existing scroll and replace it with another was was no clear. The material seems sturdy and robust. I prepared this table for three reasons: 1- the table height can be adjusted using a level and not manually adjusted using a know. This feature is what I like most about this table. 2- it can be tilt and so I can read or use my laptop while in bed. This feature is not working well as the edge of the table is not high enough to stop a laptop or a tablet from falling off the table. 3- the main pillar that holds the table is square and not circular like the majority of the similar (and cheaper) tables on Amazon. I thought the will make the table more stable. However, the two parts of the square pillar are hosted in a flimsy piece of plastic. The tabletop is swinging when it is slightly pushed. Overall, the table achieved one of the three reasons to buy it. I believe the table needs some re-engineering to improve it especially its stability and raise the edge to stop a laptop/book from falling.

Really terrible quality 😞 Tables aren’t even Castors are sub par and don’t roll properly. Really disappointed considering this was roe my bed ridden father. And it’s nothing that I expected
