Able Life Tray Table, Adjustable Bamboo TV and Laptop Desk with Ergonomic Stand Assist Safety Handle, Independent Living Aid

I suffered a bad tri-malleolar fx back in September, which left me non-weight-bearing (with complications) for three months. When the splints and casts were finally all off, I was ready to get out of bed and be [more] normal. My family moved a recliner into my room so I could still ice and elevate, but it was difficult for me to get out of it and stand up, even using a walker for assistance.I was initially just searching for a table that would allow me to sit in a chair with my computer to do my work (You might think that sitting in bed working would be amazing, but that is a poor long-term choice ergonomically speaking, as you gradually slide down the bed and those pillows never stay put!). When I saw this table with the handle to help me stand, I decided to try it and see if I could get some of my independence back. Here are my thoughts:- Worth every $- Well made and easy to put together. One screw didn't want to attach, but the other two are enough to hold the weight. The hardest part was positioning the table stand under the chair legs - two people make that task easier.- Stable, stable, stable! Frequently tested by the household pack consisting of a German Shepherd, Greater Pyrenees, Golden Retriever, and Poodles. They tried their best to break it.- The standing handle does its job perfectly! Besides using it to stand up, I can also run my cables through it and hang things from it to keep them within reach.- The arm height is easily adjustable and has a good range of height options.- The arm swing and table swivel combine to make it ridiculously flexible to position either to the left or right of the handle.- The table itself is very nice and will easily hold a 15" laptop, books, breakfast, etc.- The little tray on the back of the table space is great for stashing a remote, pen, reading glasses, etc.- The table is NOT large enough to hold a 15" laptop with a mouse next to it. I hate touchpads, so I placed a cutting board under the laptop and shifted it over until I had enough room to use my mouse.Overall, I highly recommend it! Even if you don't need the handle to assist with standing, this is just a nice, stable little table if you spend a lot of time in a chair - or have crazy K9s or toddlers who are always trying to knock your stuff to the floor.

This table exceeds my expectations. It is strong and well made. I have severe pain problems sitting at my computer so I have set this up at my couch. My 22" monitor fits on the table and I arrange the keyboard and mouse on my lap. I can put my feet on the ottoman and relax back while gaming or paying bills. The table rotates two ways so I can position the monitor how I want it. (The table arm rotates around the vertical stand, and then the table itself rotates about its center. This also means you can orient the utensil tray toward you or away from you.) It has a leveling screw too which is a nice touch. Very easy to put together.I think I will get some straps to secure the monitor mount just in case someone bumps it, but the table carries its weight very well. The only thing I would have liked is if it could lower just one more notch; that would be a bit better for the LCD monitor viewing angle, but that's a minor detail and only a problem when I scrunch down and even then I just have to tolerate a bit less brightness. For that matter, lowering it would interfere with my keyboard. Different monitors may have different viewing angles though so your results may vary. The only way to improve on that would be to physically mount the monitor to something that rotates it vertically for you, but that was more expense or trouble than I wanted.For my needs, I like the table's small size. I can rotate my monitor out of the way. A bigger table would be in the way when I get up and down. This table is just about perfect for what I wanted to do. With the monitor on it, there is no room for much else, but that's what I wanted, basically, a table to make a comfortable, reclined gaming station.EDIT: I've moved this station to a recliner. It works great. The rocker/recliner support does not fit exactly on the Stander pads; the pads need to be slightly closer together, but it is fitting just barely and functioning well enough. The recliner is a Best Home Furnishings rocker/recliner; these don't have four legs like a regular chair but a frame support thing underneath. The whole setup is working well, and I don't think it would have worked with any other table. I am so glad I got this, I love it.If you want to be a perfectionist and are a handy carpenter, you could make up a couple boards, one slightly thicker, to put under the recliner feet. This would give more stability to the Stander, and would even out the slight (about 1/4") tilt. Right now I'm just using a couple furniture floor protectors under the opposite feet. So this is very doable, if you're looking to make a recliner gaming chair, using this Stander Tray.

I loved this tray. It was perfect for helping to feed my mom once she developed Lewy Body Dementia. Seniors with muscle control issues can't always sit up at a table, but this was perfect - she could sit at her favorite chair and the tray would pull right up to her so she didn't spill food in her lap. Because it was grounded with a counter weight, she could also grab onto it to help herself up, and there was no accidentally tipping it over to move it to get up - it just glides out of the way. It can also be used as a reading, gaming, puzzles or craft table as needed. And it slides away to be a side table too. We couldn't live without it.
