help need to find name of a piece of furniture

tadd · Post by **tadd** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:29 pm

I have tried without success to find the name of a piece of furniture so that I can find plans for making it. It is basically a stand, with feet on rollers so that it can fit under a bed and provide a place to hold a book or computer, etc. The 3 rollers are often shown on a V (horizontal to the floor) and post rising from the rollers, and a movable flat desk-like area, often which can be tilted.

Any names or where I can plans for such would be a great help. Thanks

You seem to have all of the specifications for this portable, adjustable table well defined. Go to the shop and start building one. You could consider it to be a "custom" model; built to user specifications.

Why buy when you cab design and build?

How about "overbed table?"

Thanks for the name help. I found a huge number of already made overbed tables in the web site you gave. I am still hunting for plans to make one. So any further help will be appreciated.
