Review on Set Of 2 White Folding TV Tray Tables For Eating - 19 X 15 X 26 Inches By EHemco by Aleska Allen

Perfect for Our Needs.

I've only had these two little tables for a few weeks, but they are PERFECT for our needs.We downsized and moved to a small condo with a stacked washer and dryer. I needed a surface to set a loaded laundry basket on (or to set an empty one on, that I would fill from the dryer). I keep one of these small tables right beside the laundry unit. It flips open easily with one hand (similar to how one would open a folding chair)--I often have only one hand available as I'm holding something in the other. Once the table's open, it makes a great surface--like a small countertop right at my fingertips!The other table we keep close by our game table (another folding table) to hold extra items for the games we're playing, like the money tray for Monopoly, etc. It's smaller than the money tray but still very handy! I also plan to use it with my elderly father when he needs his lunch by his bedside. Again, the surface is smaller than my serving tray, so I plan to unload the serving tray onto the table, rather than just sit it on top. Then he can just slide the table over his lap to eat, as he sits upright on the side of his bed.I used to have two white folding tables that were a different design. While the surface areas were larger, it was a real pain to get them open. I had to swing two legs out, then press in on a tiny button for each leg to get the height I wanted. Then a support bar swung out to support the plastic top. Very cumbersome to store and use. Often I would try to slide the table across the floor a little, only to have the support bar drop, thus loosing my horizontal surface. Very frustrating! I've since gotten rid of those and replaced them with these.With these tables, the legs are permanently attached underneath in all four spots. On one end of the table the legs fold inward--remaining attached to the table when you want to put the table away. So you never have do anything more to set up the table than straighten the legs--very simple and everything remains attached. And the tables store well vertically, unlike my old ones.Be aware that the tops of these black tables are small. And they are not height-adjustable. But the convenient design and ease of storage makes up for that, in my opinion. And I suppose if someone were really handy, they could replace the top with just about anything they preferred, like real wood, or a wider surface. I don't know how sturdy the tables would be if the top were widened much, though. They might be nice with a round top. But I like the rectangular tops and find these are very sufficient for what we need, just the way they are.

Pros
  • Lightweight design makes it easy for children to use
Cons
  • The tray tables are not versatile and can only be used for one purpose
