What do you call.....?

Options
Afternoon all,

I'm looking to buy something but am having problems since I don't know its correct name!

Basically, its a long narrowish table on wheels that sits at the bottom of a double bed - and can be pulled up towards you as you are sitting up in bed.

At first I thought they were called "overbed tables" but from Internet searching that seems to be smaller versions that slide to the side - under your bed - that's not what I'm looking for.

Any ideas?

    You mean a bit like this (only wider and with 4 wheels)?

    Yes - kinda like that. However it basically looks like a long coffee table (wheels are hidden at bottom). The one I saw looks stylish (not like mobility furniture!)

    Still searching - and can't find one anywhere! I've seen them before in a shop - can't remember which one though!
