Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love this ~ not a tiny bit, but LOVE! This table is one of my best and most favorite purchases in a very long time! I think this is a very overlooked but invaluable table for a million things on top of an overbed table! I really hope my review can help you out but we are not going to discuss what it must imply about my life that I am this excited over a table....but I really am. This table is 100% perfect for far more than just sick room needs. It will certainly be helpful to have it here should we need it for that, but this table was purchased with my work room in mind. So a VERY quick side bar ~ I now work from home restoring antiques and running an online antique store and vintage shave shop. I spend A LOT of hours in my work room. My main workbench and computer area is built against the wall and is a higher counter with a stool. I have the TV and against the far wall there is a small living room type sitting area where the kids and my husband can spend time while I am working. Problem is, the TV and sitting area is at my back. If I am working in the evening and we watch a movie or even having conversation my back is to everything and there is really no other solution since the work station is built onto the wall and is high ~ even a small TV tray or something along those lines would not work. It would be too short or just not enough work area. I have tried. Most tables that would be convenient enough to move around are not going to be sturdy enough to hold some weight and if they are, they are far too short to work on from a stool ~ and I already have it crammed so full I am not adding a table and another chair! This table has given me the freedom to work and still be able to interact with my family! Strong enough & large enough to even hold the portable desktop if I choose! I can work on a restoration project and spread out with items on the work bench and swivel my stool back & forth. I work ridiculously long hours some weeks and this has given me a chance to actually spend some time with the kids! I am so, so happy! Now what makes this table stand out from the others! First this table is top notch! Exactly what I was hoping for and what I needed. The quality is excellent and I have zero doubt to it's durability. I was a psychiatric nurse in a major hospital for years and this is definitely a higher grade than most standard hospital tables. It is a heavier construction and (I can't get the right word for exactly what I mean but) more stable than a typical hospital table. This does not feel like it is going to tip and you are confident setting some weight on it. And there is about a half inch lip all around the edge ~ no little pieces, pens, paintbrushes to go rolling! Castors roll easily but level. TAgain, no fear this is going to tip. Before writing this review I decided to test it by working on a small, but moderately heavy (about 20 pounds) chest I was painting. PERFECT! Even more than just interacting I discovered this is invaluable to anyone working on a project where different levels and views may be needed. Although not ridiculously heavy, the chest is bulky to pick up and does get quite heavy painting with one hand and holding it up with the other to do edging ~ all I did was raise the table which just simply means pull upwards! Raised it to get the bottom edge, lowered for the top, and swiveled right on the casters for the next side! I hadn't even thought of THAT when I purchased it! This would be the best tool for crafters, restorers, woodworking ~ even sewing and cooking because you can STAND and pull the table high enough to comfortably work. The table pulls up higher easily enough with one hand and locks in place ~ when you want to change just pull upward or lift the lever to release it slowly back down. Anyone who wants to draw or read simply has to turn a crank on the side. It locks the table tightly in place but turns easily enough even someone with compromised hand strength could do it themselves. It does come shipped flat, in pieces. Do not fear ~ the directions are nicely printed on heavy, easy to read paper and are in English - actual English. No guessing or trying to decode meaning. I would say is took about 20 minutes to put together once you have everything out and actually start assembling, but it is an easy put together! I just could not be happier! This table is an excellent deal and think outside the box for uses! Even if you need one now for the sick room - it is NOT an item that needs to end up in the attic when no longer needed! Honestly we are not talking about my excitement about an overbed table...but I can't think of anything about this that could make me any happier!! 100% Confidence in Recommending this to anyone considering buying it! I can not wait to see what else it makes easier as I continue to use it! Can't speak for anyone else but I try to take my reviews seriously ~ I know how much I count on them when I am buying, especially online ~ please take a second to hit "YES" if I have helped you out! I received this product at a discount for my honest and accurate review. I am not obligated to leave a positive review, nor do I receive any incentives or monetary compensation to do so. My goal is to help buyers understand aspects of an item I would like to know before purchase. I am not affiliated with any company and am a normal consumer just like you and pick items to review that I would normally want to purchase. (I don't do reviews for things I would already deem to be junk). I would never write a review for a product that is anything but my personal opinion. Hope I was able to help ~ and please don't hesitate to ask me a question about any of the products I've reviewed; I am happy to help if I can!
