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!"Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" (Douglas Adams)0 -

Exactly what I've been looking for!
