First off, let me say this table is a GAME-CHANGER. As someone who splits time between working from bed and binge-watching shows, the Carex overbed table has become my MVP. The hydraulic lift is butter-smooth – no Hulk strength needed to adjust the height. I’ve used it at everything from laptop-in-bed level to standing-desk height during Zoom calls (yes, my PJs stayed hidden).

The steel frame? Rock solid. I’ve loaded mine with a 17" laptop, coffee mug, and a plate of pancakes (breakfast-in-bed champion here) with zero wobble. The walnut-finish top wipes clean easily – crucial for us snackers. Pro tip: Keep the plastic wrap on during assembly like one reviewer suggested – saved my tabletop from accidental scratches.

Now, the not-so-perfect bits: Assembly requires basic tools (that missing threaded bolt issue some mentioned? Yikes). The instructions could be clearer – I installed the handle upside down first try (oops). And while it glides beautifully on hardwood, thick carpet takes slightly more effort. Also wish it had rubber edges for extra grip.

Unexpected bonus? This thing moonlights better than expected – from mechanic’s tool tray (per one creative reviewer) to art station for kids’ crafts. At this price point? Absolute steal compared to pricier medical-grade tables. Just check all parts upon delivery and maybe grab a spare bolt at Home Depot just in case.

Final verdict: Whether you’re recovering from surgery, WFH in pajamas, or just love breakfast in bed without crumbs everywhere – this rolling workhorse earns its spot in your space.
