TigerDad Over Bed Table with Wheels Adjustable | Rolling Laptop Table Overbed Desk Hospital Tray Table Sofa Chair Side Table (Black)

I'm using this adjustable desk for laptop, journaling and crafts. As I've needed to keep all pressure off the base of my spine, I have been using a special chair which reclines backwards while providing support. I wanted a desk with a divided top portion, to be working at an angle, with my drink and my snacks on the level portion.I chose this Tiger Dad adjustable desk because I knew that the usual base would not fit under my low -construction chair. The base of the Tiger Dad desk does swing out, to the side of a chair, as promised in the description. As I expected, the Tiger Dad desk in this position is unbalanced and must be weighted. I have two tool boxes, both filled with heavy tools, serving as counter -balance to the two sections of the desk. For any user wanting to swing the base out to the side of a chair, this type of counter-weighting is the alternative to your laptop catapulting across your room, followed by a messy arc of coffee and snacks. I purchased this adjustable desk with this understanding, that the base would not fit under my special inclined chair, and that I would be placing heavy tool boxes on the base.The Tiger Dad desk is not a beautiful piece of furniture. This will never be a family heirloom. I can recommend this desk as extremely useful for the recovery stage of illness or injury. This is for a person who has reached the stage of sitting up in bed, or the stage of working on crafts or scrap-booking or related projects while sitting in a supportive chair.Some of the comments include wobblee-ness as a negative, but I have not had this problem with this desk. A fair amount of assembly is required, and the metal pieces must be tightened correctly.Person who needs this desk for recovery purposes may not be able to complete the assembly un-assisted. The base should be assembled first. The top is somewhat heavy with metal pieces in place, and some who can benefit from this desk may lack the strength necessary for lifting this top section onto the assembled base. Helper may be required, The desk pieces include small tools which are adequate for tightening of metal pieces.Modifications: The larger section, the section for laptop or journal or craft project has a strip which is low enough to be out of the way of hands and wrists. User must keep in mind that this strip is almost the exact thickness of the lower section of a laptop. This means that a bump with a leg can result in the laptop sliding over the strip and into the user's actual lap. I have a safety cord to prevent this. This cord goes around the hinge section of my laptop, feeds through the two holes on the other side of the desk, and ties underneath.With understanding of the need for minor modifications, this Tiger Dad adjustable desk could turn out to be an excellent purchase.Note: Reader of this review might see Vine Voice by my name, but this does NOT mean that I received this desk "for free" in exchange for my review. I paid the full price for this desk, and have contributed this review without any promise of any type of compensation. I have just thought that my assessment, as a buyer who has been using this desk, might be helpful to someone who has been searching for a laptop/journal desk which might be used comfortably through recovery from back injury or other problem. This desk can be "modified to work" in many different situations, and I just wanted to share my experience.

Good quality.

Assembly required, but not complicated at all. Exactly what I was looking for!

I wanted to like it and kept it too long to return it. 1. It wouldn't fit over his bed with the side rails. 2. Once adjusted and adjusting knobs were tightened it just wouldn't hold that lock. any weight at all, a book, a cat, a cup of water, and it would tilt and things slide off. 3. No sliding stops on both sides so we cannibalized another table's and glued them on. 4. Nice cup spot but only for standard cups not mugs or bottles. 5. Seemed sturdy and looks sturdy but while not falling apart; is not stable either. 6. Looks really nice. Smooth, even color, good graining, no splinters, scratches, scrapes, ... I likely won't buy again or recommend but I might consider trying if I found out this one was just individually faulty.

I would definitely recommend this rolling tray table. It is sturdy and doesn't require retightening often, and that goes for any part of it as it is adjustable for many positions. It rolls effortlessly and is easily adjustable to store in a small space.Before ordering this, I had purchased a different adjustable rolling tray table and had several problems with it, mostly with it often loosening up.I have never had a problem with this one. I love it and I would not hesitate to buy it again!

One of the wheels would not screw on properly and had a gap that caused their base to have a rock to it, but I tried to go on with putting it together anyway figuring I could just take the wheels off if it was too unstable once the rest of it was together. The instructions are very hard to follow as they're just pictures and things are not clearly labeled. Figured out the bottom part and when I went to attach the table top there's nothing explaining how to do that tried a couple different ways but the brackets that are meant to hold the top to the base do not fit over the metal part of the base nor do they appear to come apart, I was able to create a slightly larger opening by unscrewing part of the bracket as far as it would go but You can only open the brackets so wide and it's not wide enough to fit. Unfortunately going to have to return it. Very disappointed. Might be better if there were actual instructions rather than just paint by number cave man pictographs but it's definitely not intended for people who don't work in furniture building. It's extra frustrating because this sort of table is generally marketed to the disabled community and I feel like it's just taking advantage of people who already may not have a lot of resources to get things to make them more independent.

Great product, perfect fit

This product is cheaply made, it's mostly plastic, can be unsteady, and the vertical post has 2 tightening screws don't secure it well, and come loose easily, making the part you put your laptop on sway when you try and move it.I had a different tray of a same similar design which was mostly steel, the screws that kept your upper tray in place actually went through the vertical post to keep it steady instead of relying on 2 screws just pushing up against the post to fasten it, not only that but it was around the same price and lasted me about 7 years, this product will only last maybe a couple months.If I could've found the original product I used to use, I would have bought it, but this seemed similar enough that I had high hopes, which have been destroyed, and if I wanted to waste my time taking it apart so I could return it I would.
