Drive Medical Overbed Table with Wheels - Secure Height Adjustment for Comfort - Non Tilt Surface - Smooth

I was very impressed with the quality of this table. Assembly was very easy and the size is perfect. The rolling wheels and height adjustment work smoothly- It is a great value for the price Read more

Easy to assemble but be careful when you get to the last step of assembly. I learned the hard way. Do it exactly in the order on the instructions. Once I got it all together the result is an awesome, strong, easily adjusted table. Totally perfect for working on a laptop from bed or the couch. Plus you can fit dinner on the same surface. Big win. Read more

If you are in need of an over bed table this one will work for you. Very sturdy and rollers work well. A ratchet set will make assembling it much easier. Read more

The up and down is hard to assemble I have two of these and they are good. I wish the top swiveled too Read more

Having a loved family member being bed ridden for two years and counting, this has been one of the more most essential items for him in the last two years. It rolls around the main floor and provides him with a reliable table that can expand up and sink down to a height that fits him on the sofa or in bed. Good for eating food, setting a tablet, holding drinks, and the list goes on. After about 2 years, the functions began to show in the spring mechanism. It no longer held the position reliably and the wheels began showing major signs of isssues when one roller totally cracked in half. The wheels are near impossible to source online. Had to get another set. Works like new again and not overly expensive. Read more

Table was easy to assemble (the instructions were not so clear, but good enough to follow with the pics). Once put together, it is very sturdy. I bought it for hubby's post op recovery. I move it from the couch to the bed and adjust the height as needed. Meets our needs perfectly. Read more

1 Star, 04-15, apx 46USD, ships-sold by Amaz, Missing a Part and Working with Drive Medical Phone Tech Supp is So Uneven, Trust Me: Don't Risk It--Buy a Different Brand. 04-22-15 UPDATE: An update dated 04-20 never took--weird--so I'll try again. I have returned the table for a refund and refused the part kit which arrived today. I prize solicitous, invested, caring customer support from vendors for such items and when I am given short shrift this early on, I know it will not get better. If you are disabled and have bad hands like me, then good luck. It sucks bad enough to be a Microsoft customer under warranty, no one needs that kind of attitude from others. 04-19-15: I will update this review once I either get the part in the next day or two with a wrench kit from Drive Medical OR after I send back this incomplete item for a refund and shop a different brand. At the time of purchase, the product page did not list that you will need a phillips head screw driver AND a wrench. There are several large bolts so unless you have man hands coursing with industrial torque power, you will need two tools. NOW, know this: IF you decide to ignore my review and buy this Drive Medical product, but it too arrives missing parts, and you decide to give Drive a chance to make it right by calling them at 877 224 0946, Tech Supp, ASK FOR TODD in their FL office. He is courteous, responsive and competent, but make sure to ask for a REFERENCE number before hanging up. Though I think any company that has to correct its mistake should at least 2-day the part to you, I didn't ask for them to because they said it would come by UPS Ground in "2-3 days." If by some tragic turn of fate you instead reach a "Mike/Michael" in their CA office, HANG UP! He is bipolar, and I'm not exaggerating. He'll give you whiplash with his attitude switches on any call lasting five minutes or longer. He'll speak into the phone as if addressing you but don't fall for it, he's only thinking out loud, like a pin-ball wizard. He loves jargon but whatever you do, don't ask him to clue you in, to him 'em are fightin' words. He'll say "you're looking at the tri-fold assembly instructions, right?!" Silly me, I said no, because I wasn't; what I have is a single sheet with no folds. He became exasperated (?!), as if I was being a contrarian. I only thought I should be precise because what do I know, the table model he thinks I have has the tri-fold but the table I do have has the no-fold. KWIM? I could detail every hideous moment of the over-long call but I'll never get those 20 minutes of my life back and it's depressing. We end the call by him first saying I can call him in a few days, he'll give me his direct extension, I say ok, fine and then the very next moment he demands my phone number to call me. Oh no, there is NO WAY I'm going to go through this again. I say no, that's ok, I'll call back. I said I just don't think he and I were communicating, which also set him off and he said, in a voice shimmering with Why Doesn't This Person Notice I'm Doing Them a Favor and Act More Appreciative of Me, "is there anything else I can help you with?!" and I hurriedly replied "no" which he greeted with a slam of the phone in my ear. Ow. I called back a few minutes later and mercifully reached Todd who patiently heard me recount this pathetic episode of "The Drive Medical Customer Survivor Show." Todd, sounding perplexed and doing damage control said he'd try to find out what happened but he was sure that the wrench and part would be one shipment, not two per Mike. We'll see what shows up by Tuesday evening. If I don't get what I need by 801pm my time, I'll be filing for an annulment. I don't do unrequited love with a vendor who doesn't like the color of my money. Drive Medical, clone Todd, jettison Mike. Read more

As other have noted the instructions are BAD. One key bolt is numbered wrong and there is a mystery short chrome bolt. Go to [...] (earlier review did not give the full link so I hunted around). Review the bad instructions and this page before assembling. DO NOT REMOVE ANY screws from assembly until completely assembled (i.e. the infamous black screw). The long bolt is mislabeled, but the nut is correct. It is pretty clear you need to use it to hold the black tab in place. (Put the black tab in the correct side up or it will not push down on the rod to let you lower the table. This is shown best in the LAST picture on the web link - of course.) Loosely assemble everything and then tighten everything - always a good plan. Stand the table upright and then (and only then) remove the black screw. The table top weight keeps the table from shooting up. You can now lift the table up. To get it back down you press the black lever (actually pull it up). If this doesn't work then you assembled the black tab upside down so it cannot push on the rod. (You can see this looking in the end - I know I did it wrong.) With the table top weight in place unscrew the bolt holding the black tab and flip the tab over and reassemble. The table top weight keeps things from shooting up (at least it did for me - if concerned add a few books to the table top for weight). Once correctly positioned the plastic black tab pushes the rod down allowing you to lower the table. Nothing locks the table from going up. It only locks going down. To get it to go down you push (pull) the black tab. Oh yes the mystery chrome bolt - it appears to be used to put in place of the black bolt to make the underside look nice - go figure. It is shorter than the black bolt which initially went through the inner upright and kept the spring from shooting it out (with no weight holding it down). It gets 3 stars because 1) the instructions stink and 2) the weld for the table top is off (QC issue) so the table is not exactly flat. Maybe 5 degree tilt - not the end of the world - just sloppy. No issue getting the film off - just pull gently. Seems reasonable rugged and did not cost a fortune. Even with the bad instructions took about 20 minutes to assemble (I went slow due to all the warnings). Now my guess is I could assemble a second one in about 10 minutes max. Read more
