Best Overbed Tables of 2025

"I am really happy with this table. The first one I ordered arrived damaged, likely due to shipping. After initiating a return, Amazon quickly sent a replacement. It was crucial for my recovery after shoulder surgery, and while it delayed things a couple of days, I was glad to have it. My husband found the assembly pretty easy, and I find the surface space sufficient for my needs. I love the maneuverability of the wheels, making it easy to move around. It fits well under my sofa and is close enough for convenience. Though I see how it could tip, I’ve had no issues as long as I use it carefully. Overall, it has been a big help during my recovery, and I recommend it for anyone facing surgery or needing assistance."

"I’m using this table daily and I’m very impressed with the quality and ease of use. It offers great value as well!"

"I utilize this for my bed office when I work from bed, and it’s incredibly convenient. My laptop fits perfectly with the riser, and it works well for food or hospice use. The table is surprisingly sturdy and holds more than I anticipated."

"I have to stand up and down multiple times during the day due to my back problem, and this desk has been a perfect solution. I didn't expect it to be sturdy enough to hold my PC while moving it up and down. For under $50, it's a great deal!"

"Assembling the table was straightforward for me. I can see how it might be more challenging for older folks, but it feels stable and lifts with a solid pull. I did notice it doesn't lay completely flat, which could be a concern for liquids."

"This is the third table we've purchased over the years—not because they break, but for their versatility. They work great for bedside use and as a handy side table anywhere. Overall, it's practical, easy to clean, and looks sleek."

"I already had a Flexispot desk for work and loved it, so when I needed an over-bed desk for recovery, I was thrilled to find this medical version. Assembly was a breeze, so easy that my child even decided to take over! The desk is sturdy and perfect for its purpose. The wheels are a bit challenging on carpet, but they glide effortlessly on tile and hardwood. Overall, I’m super happy with this purchase and highly recommend it!"

"This table has become my everything table. I love that it rolls, making it easy to move around and can slide under beds and couches. I use it for eating, watching videos, and working. It’s so versatile that I wish I had space for two of them! I also own their automatic standing desk, which is fantastic too. Great company, great products!"

"I have Post Covid Fatigue Syndrome and need a portable desk to watch movies and use my Kindle while in bed. I absolutely love this desktop table!

I even covered the surface to protect it, making it awesome for my needs!"

"I don't usually write reviews, but this product exceeded my expectations. I needed a rolling tray for my elderly mom that didn't look like a hospital tray. After trying several less expensive options, I finally splurged on this one, and it was worth every penny! It's exceptionally easy to assemble, very sturdy, and the size is perfect for her needs. I do wish it had a small hole for a phone or tablet, but that's a minor issue. I'm just glad I bought it!"

"After my husband had surgery, we needed something for him to use while recovering in bed. This tray has been a lifesaver! It was simple to put together and very sturdy, which was our main concern. It rolls easily on carpet and has indentations for drinks and phones. Plus, it's spacious enough for all his items or a plate of food. We plan to keep it for future use!"

"I've tried several laptop desks and trays before investing in this one. It really is worth the money! I love the large surface area, which holds my laptop and paperwork comfortably. The hydraulic lift makes adjusting the height a breeze, and it feels very stable. My only concern is that it could be slightly more level, but it's not a huge issue. Overall, it's far superior to anything else I've found!"

"I recently needed a table while recovering from major surgery. This table is sturdy, easy to assemble, and works great! The height is almost perfect for my recliner, though I wish it went just a couple inches lower."

"I bought this for my husband recovering from knee replacement. It was set up in less than 30 minutes. The materials are sturdy and of good quality. The lever action for moving it up and down is smooth!"

"I love that this is a family-owned business and made in America. It was easy for me, a non-technical person, to put together. However, I did not realize that the table does not swivel to fit over chairs."

"This was the best impulse purchase! I've been considering getting an overbed rolling table for a while, and when I finally saw this one, I couldn't resist. The assembly was straightforward, and the sturdy metal wheels glide effortlessly across my hardwood floors. I can fit everything I need on it without worrying about anything falling off. After years of use, I still love it!"

"I absolutely love this product! I'm planning to buy two more for my other bedrooms. I didn't even use the back, turning it into a wonderful shelf for my speaker bar. It's easy to adjust the size and height, and cleaning is a breeze. It served us well for meals and games, proving itself to be more versatile than any TV tray I've ever used!"

"I bought this for my recovery after surgery, and the assembly was quite simple. The design is well thought out, and I appreciate the double threaded adjustment bolts. My only small issue was with the packaging; some foam got stuck in a tight space, but I managed to remove most of it. Overall, this over-the-bed table provides a great workspace and eating surface."

"I was initially hesitant to order this desk due to some reviews. However, after having knee surgery, I needed a solution that would allow me to work with my leg elevated. The desk was easy to assemble, and the clearance above my bed is perfect. It's stable and sturdy, and I love that it accommodates four 17-inch monitors. Great value for the price!"

"I purchased this desk for my brother, who is now paralyzed after breaking his hip. I specifically wanted it for him to work remotely, as it provides ample space for his computer, monitor, and papers. Unfortunately, after we assembled it, his employer refused to allow remote work anymore, which was disappointing."

"After using the desk a few times, I made a couple of adjustments that improved its functionality. I own a queen adjustable bed, and the height is perfect. I did have a missing piece on one of the leg inserts, but overall, it's working very well for my needs."

"I found the price to be great for such a quality product. Assembly was a breeze—just six screws and two bolts, and they even provided the tools needed. I believe my grandmother could assemble this without any help. The solid steel stand is very sturdy, and the locking lever works perfectly to lift the tabletop with ease. I chose this model because it raises to a full 45 inches, which is perfect for my tall bed."

"I purchased this for my dad after his surgery since he's now bed bound. It functions just like the one in the hospital. His neighbor assembled it, and when I visited later, I found it to be really nice. It has a lever for height adjustment and locks on the wheels, making it a great height for over beds."

"I bought two of these tables, and they are both performing excellently for me. The one in the living room is a bit too high off the floor and won't slide under my easy chair, so I removed the wheels and just pull it across the carpet. I placed a small piece of plastic over the screw on the bottom to prevent snagging, and it still works beautifully for me. Definitely money well spent!"
