Folding TV Tray Tables for Eating, Portable Dinner Table for Small Space, Couch, Living Room, 19" X 15" X 26" Inches, Black, Set of 2

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.

I got two of these for the winter holiday season of 2012 as spare bar and snack tables for our parties, etc. They are nice. They look pleasant enough for plastic (black, slightly rough surface) and metal (gray painted aluminum, I think), they stand well and are stable when opened up, and being resin/plastic they are not easy to damage with spills and spots. I use one right now for an Aero-Garden in a corner of a room so that I don't worry about water damage on any other table and the other was easily folded and stored. They also have enough well-positioned leg-room so that they would actually be usable as a TV tray or as a small work table around the house. Probably would be nice for kids for eating or crafting, etc. And, you can put them side-by-side and expand the surface for your use. (I used plastic zip/cable ties to anchor them together around their legs and it worked very well.) We would get these, again, if the need arose for more small tables.Added to my comments on Jan 23, 2013--I was taking a look at the tables again after seeing that someone found the review helpful and I stand by all my positive comments but wanted to make a correction to an error I made: The tops are not black plastic or resin, though I think they may have a thin sort of plastic coating/paint on them. The tops are MDF or medium density fiberboard, so they are compressed wood. I still think they are durable and easy to keep in decent shape and I would still by this product again. Actually, the fiberboard might be better than plastic tops because it is more solid, not as irregular in being level and smooth, etc., and may not distort or sag as easily over time. And, being MDF it is a touch heavier and I think that helps them be stable, not easily tipped over. A person who was very worried about a wood top could, if they were handy, put a quick poly coat on the top, I suppose.Just wanted to correct my mistake, still really like the tables.

Really reliable

These tv trays are just the right size for my apartment. They are sturdy and nice looking. I like the way the trays can be opened or closed with one hand. They are very sturdy

good and sturdy tv trays, perfect for away from the table use.

Provided as described. Solid feel but way too tall to use at the couch.

Just what I was looking for, not to big and clunky.

Needed a TV tray table to use after back surgery so I can sit at sofa and not have to bend over to reach anything on coffee table. We also eat dinner in the living room as a family and I couldn't sit at coffee table. I purchased the two pack. They fold very flat for storage which is great. They are just the right size for a laptop, eating, anything. Not too big and not too small but just the right size I was looking for. They also have little plastic feet on the bottom. Be careful of the feet because they can pop off somewhat easily but I might end up gluing them in place when I can. Can't say enough good things about these tables!
