Vaunn Medical Adjustable Overbed Bedside Table With Wheels (Hospital and Home Medical Use)

Great product!

This is not a particularly beautiful table/desk, but it has so perfectly met my needs that I cant help but rate it 5 enthusiastic stars. I got this table to serve as the desk to my laptop. When I went from desktop computer to laptop, I found I was sitting in bed a lot with it rather than at my desk. Doing this meant I didnt need a big desk somewhere, and so I set about finding how to get comfy computing from bed. I had tried a few things, from a cooling mat, to a folding lap desk to a cheapish plastic lap desk with a beanbag bottom (the latter of which I still use for other things, like my mouse, tablet, etc.) but I was having trouble making this 1. Comfortable 2. Accommodating to my large and powerful laptop while in use and having it also be easy to put someplace else out of the way 3. Affordable 4. Not heinously ugly. After going through the formerly mentioned small lapdesks, finding them too small, rickity, unwieldy and annoying to find a home for them when not in use on my bed I thought of these medical bed tables. It seemed like the perfect fit to give me a small, functional, mobile desk for my laptop AND a drink/snack, so I set about looking at reviews, checking prices, etc. This table was the cheapest while maintaining a high level of satisfaction among its owners, a low reported incidence of manufacturing defects and unlike some other similar tables - this one was reported as being EASY to put together rather than annoying, confusing, convoluted, etc. I decided to try it. I am SO glad that I did and here is why: 1. Okay, top of the list, at $59.99 this table is one of the cheapest units you will find that also doesnt have a lot of bad reviews proclaiming it to be a piece of junk. If the table is decent, does what you need and costs $60 instead of $100-$300 then... ding! ding! ding! We have a winner. Well, as I will go on to explain: We have a winner! 2. This was easy as pie to install. There is a small guide. Its pretty straight forward. Only word of caution: Dont undo the shipping screw, point the metal support at ANYTHING of value (head, dog, vase, etc.) and hit the table adjustment lever. This seems obvious, but they kinda dont mention it and I thought I would do that just so someone doesnt come back and post You never told me Id put my eye out!!. Well, I did. Dont put your eye out, okay? But other than that this is easy to assemble. It took me 15 minutes, or less. I needed a mid-size phillips head screwdriver to tighten the six screws that hold the support beam to the table top and and a small/mid-sized wrench to tighten the two bolts that hold the support beam to the base. I say mid-size because that is how not technical with tools I am. I know some tool names. I can usually put things together better than my other family members, in part due to patience, but I often ask the boyfriend to tighten it all down at the end. And I am 99% confident almost anyone can put this together in under 30 minutes. 3. It really is easy to use. It rolls well enough, even on carpet. I swing it over and away from the bed a few times a day and out at the end of the night when I go to sleep. I adjust the top to right above my legs or up to the highest notch depending on what I am doing, and it is so easy to adjust with the lever. Although I cannot one-hand lift, I know this is because my laptop weighs 8 lbs. It lifts one-handed when my laptop and other junk isnt on it, and yet it easily two-hand lifts with all my doo-dahs on the topper. To lower you simply lift the lever and press down. To lock it - up or down - just move to the desired level and lift a little until you hear the snap. If thats too high - or low - readjust and snap in place again. 4. It seems of decent quality. Its a laminate, particle board top, sure. It isnt a piece of Ethan Allen furniture, but it cost $59.99. And for that price point I have gotten bookcases with a surprise! CARDBOARD backing that during assembly, you tack on the back of the case. Now thats cheap and cheesy! On the other hand, while not fancy-pants, this is a nice little table. There are no manufacturing errors. All the pieces went together right. It rolls right. It doesnt wobble too much considering its a desk with one leg and a hefty laptop on the other end of it. It goes up and down smoothly. It looks pretty decent given its welded, chromed metal and laminate-topped particle board. Price to quality, I am 110% satisfied, would buy again, will recommend! :-) So bottom line, I love this little table desk. It works perfectly for me. I was excited to get it. Happy how it went together. Thrilled to start using it and Ive been happy with it each and every day for the last couple weeks. If anything changes, breaks, etc. I will be sure to update the review. If things go as planned I will probably still come back to update how its going. Until then I leave you with these thoughts: The table size is listed, but part of the topper is over the side of the base beam. This means the table doesnt go halfway across a queen size bed, for example. If you want something like that you will need to find a longer table. And probably a sturdier one to hold such weight farther out like that. Also, though the table isnt huge and doesnt span the bed, it holds a lot of stuff! Mine holds my 17.3 laptop, the laptop chilly mat it sits on, my drink, a snack, my phone and phone holder, my tablet and/or a book! I could probably scootch stuff to the other side and fit a mouse, but when I do use a mouse I actually just put that on the tiny plastic lap desk with the bean bag bottom and that works for me. I went ahead and took some photos of my desk set up to give you an idea of how much stuff fits on it, the space under it and above the bed (our bed is I think 30-32 give or take with blankets, etc. and the desk is at about 38-39 on the underside while at max) and how far across our queen that it goes while hitting the side rails. Oh, and the picture with my leg - I am not skinny at 55 and 150lbs with decidedly NOT chicken legs - so that is a good bit of space! I can sit cross-legged or even with my knees up when the table is at max. Of course this room will vary according to the height of your bed/couch/whatever and the size of your body but I hope this provides some reference. :-) (UPDATE 02/24/16: For some reason my pics never posted. I reposted and they still havent shown. Not sure why as I post pics all the time, but perhaps this item has too many images attached already and we arent privy to the threshold? Anyhow, wanted to mention this as its a bit annoying, and makes my review inaccurate without explanation.) I love this desk! And I hope this review helped. Feel free to ask questions if you have them and best of luck to you! UPDATE 03/02/2019: Still love and use this desk absolutely everyday. It is sturdy and besides getting dusty all the time, since we live in the desert, once cleaned it looks like new. I now use this daily as my work desk because I have been working from home due to falling quite ill. This desk is a great help, and when I am not using it for work I am using it to watch movies on my laptop with my bearded dragon pet. I like the desk so well that when I began using a second monitor regularly at home - which is really a necessity if you do complex computer tasking - I decided to get a second desk to go on the other side of the bed so I can stop hulking my monitor on and off the box I have set up on the bed each day. I am excited for it to get here. I know having two will make a perfectly functional whole desk across my queen bed for work. Hope this helps and good luck!

It comes in a box with L wrench. Fairly easy to assemble. Rolls nice or you can put the stop on the wheels down. Nice height for sofa or chair n can be lowered or made higher. Sturdy.

I am so in love with this!!! It is sooo durable and sturdy and so much better than I was expecting in every way! And it was easy to put together by myself (I am not handy in any way lol). I use it for work (so not medical-related) and it is big enough for my laptop and mouse, a drink, my lunch…lol it’s the perfect size and can fit a lot on it. And I love that 2 of the wheels can lock to keep it in place.

I purchased for my dad. He loves it. He is now able to use his computer and sit up. He can organize his own meds. He can eat sitting up, its awesome. Great buy

I got it as a part of preparation for a surgery and used it for about 7-10 days after getting home from a hospital. It arrived packaged very well in a surprisingly small (thin) and light box. Assembly was quick and straightforward. Required tools are a screwdriver and a set of SAE wrenches or an adjustable wrench (surprisingly, the nut which had to be tightened was not metric). It literally took 5-10 mins to get it assembled. It is light enough to lift and carry to the second floor, and it is sturdy enough for some supplies which need to be at hand (e.g., water or medication or phone), for food, or to put a laptop computer or a tablet. The height is adjustable; the best way to adjust is to grab the tabletop with two hands on opposite sides along the length, concurrently squeeze the lever, and pull or push up or down. Adjustment with one hand does not work very well. Having said that, I never needed to adjust it when it was in use. I found that the lowest setting was the best, and, as a matter of fact, for my bed height, a slightly lower setting (which alas was not available) would work even better. The table rolls really easily on hardwood floor, I could roll it closer or further away with one hand. I found it sturdy and stable. Of course it is not designed for heavy loads, as tabletop is attached with 4 screws on one side only. Overall, it served its purpose really well and was a tremendous help when it was needed. I tried to use it as a laptop stand, but it proved a little awkward - the angle and the position of the keyboard was awkward, too high and too horizontal. I also used it as a support for a tablet to watch movies, that worked really well. One does not need to buy an expensive bedside table unless a long term use is expected because after recovery it becomes kind of useless, while during recovery it finds only a light use. Overall, I am very satisfied - no issues whatsoever. It does not look super pretty or fancy, but it does its job as a medical bedside table. Hospitals use much fancier ones, but hospitals also need much better durability and longevity from their furniture.

Good quality, very easy assembly, rolls and operates well.

Very easy to assemble and good size. Raise and lower is relatively easy but the wheels are very inexpensive and tend to slide on a smooth surface, rather than roll. Overall a good product.

Perfect for my husband’s needs

My wife had been in the hospital with a pesky infection and then sent to a rehab facility where she got no sleep. We rented a hospital bed and arranged for home care so she could come home and truly recuperate. She really appreciated the hospital tables that were movable and adjustable to keep things midway down the bed at night she wanted to reach in the middle of the night and to eat at from the side of the bed or in a chair. We had nothing like it at home so I ordered it from Amazon. The package was very heavy and the bed needed to be assembled. The instructions were clear. My middle son came over and did most of the work. It might have taken 1/2 hour in all to put it together . It is very study and works very well for its purpose. It holds most of the stuff my wife wants to reach at night much more conveniently that the night tables we owned.
