Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So far this TV tray is what I expected. I like it and am happy I bought it. That being said, some of the other reviews are right. It's not solid like a rock stable, but it is very light and so I wasn't expecting it to be that way. Mine sits flat on the ground and the bar holding the tray does lock into place. Raising it up and down involves pinching to compress both sides of the pins in in the holes in each leg and this may be difficult for an elderly person or someone with physical limitations. This table can be stored flat but that involves partially disassembling it, so I wouldn't say that storing it flat is at all a feature of this item. The cup holder slides in and out under the tray but it is too small for some of our cups and it's flimsy to the point where I'm not sure I'd trust it told hold my drink. I bought this for my son to take out to our porch to do homework on. I needed something light and small so that I can easily move it in and out of the garage/house everyday. I like how it can be raised and lowered or tilted. The tray itself is large enough for textbooks and other school work. The top is not smooth enough for writing on directly, so we need something under the paper to write on. The reason I chose this model with the curved legs rather than a tray with crossed legs is that I thought we'd accidentally kick this one less. So far I'm glad I got this one, but read the negative reviews as well so you can make a good decision based on your individual needs.
