Adjustable Bedside Table

An adjustable bedside table is usually a C-shaped or cantilever piece whose top slides over the mattress and raises or lowers for eating, typing or reading in bed, so the fit to your bed frame matters more than the finish.

• Measure the clearance under your bed or sofa, because the base leg has to slide beneath it for the top to reach you.
• Compare the stated height range and tabletop dimensions against your mattress height and your laptop footprint.
• Check the lift mechanism, whether it is a pin, a knob clamp or a gas lift, and the listed weight capacity.

Look at the caster details too if you plan to roll it between rooms.
