Review on ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Adjustable Folding TV Tray Table - Convenient Couch Food Stand for Dinner - Black by Kimberly Sanders

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I love it but I don't love it.

I've used it for about a week and I've made up my mind about the product. I use it daily for specialized computing work when I don't want to go to a desk and a big computer; I use this for my Chromebook computer. So I can't comment on how durable it is because I don't put much weight on it. But for a Chromebook and the weight of my hands resting on it, it seems to hold up pretty well. I like the cup holder as it protects my electronics from liquids. It's compact enough (when assembled in workstation mode) to fit into tight spaces. It is lightweight so transportation is not a problem. The lack of a crossbar between the legs is a plus as there is plenty of legroom without constantly kicking the table. The desktop area is big enough for my computer and, if I want, other accessories like a mouse or a paper pad. And the price for it wasn't very high (but I think it was a little expensive for its function). Building the table was pretty easy, but it's not a build I gave 2 stars for. The build I'm talking about takes it out of storage mode and puts it back into workstation mode. There is room for improvement. The first annoyance with this is that if you break it, the desktop support bar and desktop will wiggle freely. So unless you're storing it vertically, you'll have to deal with those two wobbly parts. The company could certainly add some sort of clip to keep the two together during storage. Second, there are no holes in the legs that allow you to store them folded in a position that is comfortable for you. When you fold the legs, secure them with retractable pins that adjust the height. The problem is that they didn't make these storage niches at every level of elevation, they only put two on legs - at the lowest position and in the middle. This results in the user having to reset each time after saving (after finding the desired notch) unless it is one of the preset positions. And since the legs work independently, that's twice as much work. And rotating the legs just so the pins pop out into the notch is also awkward; You have to be careful to turn it in just the right place so the prongs and notch meet. And I can't tell you how many times I've had this product installed BACK legs in a short amount of time and had to redo it; The company should supply some sort of inhibitor to keep you from turning your feet the wrong way. All it needs is some kind of pick on the legs so it only turns one way, because when you cook it, they only have to turn 90 degrees between storage and use. So the big question is: Would I buy this again? It serves my purpose, but when I showed it to my spouse, he said he didn't want to be bothered by all those clicks and clicks. There is another table on this site that works like an ironing board in terms of height adjustment (if any of you remember what that is). I can try it. So the answer is: I don't know. I like that there is no crossbar between the legs and the other pros I mentioned, but none of them are enough to deter me from buying another alternative. I'm halfway there with this product.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
