I have worked from home no less than 1 day per week for the past 6 years and exclusively from home since March 2020. I have had number of solutions/work spaces in my home including: desk from IKEA, working at the kitchen table, and working from the couch with a laptop cooling station as a desk. All of those solutions had common challenges: 1. Not a dedicated space which required packing and unpacking my computer and work items each night (exception for the ikea desk), 2. Not designed for sitting endlessly for hours each day (exception to the IKEA desk), 3. in the case of the IKEA desk, required additional furniture (desk chair) and had a large footprint; to name just a few.Needing a more permanent solution that would alleviate the above challenges, I began searching for a ‘C’ table on Amazon when I came across the Able Life Universal Swivel TV Tray Table, Portable Laptop Desk, Adjustable Couch Desk for Computers (their product name, not mine ?). Certainly it was more expensive than a C table; however in my opinion it the Able Life offers more flexibility and can be customized to fit the height of the chair you have (where as a C table would be a single height). Another benefit was that the Able Life allows you too easily get into and out of you seat. This is an overlook hassle- with a C table or other, you’d have to move the table each time you get into and out of the chair.Assembly and Set-up:Assembly is straight forward and the instructions clear enough. I will say the directions for installing the two set screws for leveling the top weren’t hardly clear. There is a limit on how ‘narrow’ you can make the base, but that can be over come, if so inclined, by cutting the bar(s) and connector that attach the feet. Conversely, there is a maximum width on the base, indicated by a ’stop here’ etching on the connecting bar.While the images on the product page show a configuration thats orients the table alongside the sofa/chair (front to back), for me installing the table with under the two front legs of my chair was the best option. That was partially because of the design of my chair, whereby the rear legs are set inside the front legs (its an arched base chair), although I could have used it as pictured- it would’ve just been angled a bit and I wouldn’t be able to push the chair I am using as far back (chair is angled in a corner versus being flat to a wall). I found an added benefit of setting the table in this configuration provided a better ‘footprint’ while also (since I am using this with a chair) keeping the chair from being at an angle. I had originally considered adding furniture feet to level the chair legs, but setting the table under front legs eliminated one side of the chair being ever so slightly higher.Setting the height of the work surface is easily accomplished and a set screw is tightened after setting the height to secure the riser.One thing I cannot opine on, and it may be less comfortable, is using this with a couch or armless chair. If on the end of a couch, you’d have an armrest (on the left or the right side of you and no arm rest on the other side). Having one arm on a couch arm rest and the another not supported might make this an odd setup- but since Im using this with a chair and the chair has arms; I set the height of the table such that my arms rare supported, resting at ninety degrees on the arms of chair and not putting a lot of weight on the table surface itself.Add-Ons and Modifications:I purchased the add-on “utensil compartment” to keep a few pens and my AirPods nearby. I also purchased the add-on “base tube organizer” to keep a pack of sticky notes, my Magic Mouse and a dust brush within arms reach. These accessories are easily installed in a moment to two.I also made a couple of modifications to the riser. I’ve added some cable clips (OHill Cable Clips, 16 Pack Black Cord Organizer Cable Management) with outdoor double sided tape for power cord management. Lastly I bought an iPad mount (Aduro Solid-Grip iPad Stand Holder 360 Adjustable Universal Gooseneck Lazy Tablet Stand for Desk) and cut the clamp off. I then drilled a 1/2” hole in the cap of the riser on the table and inserted the remaining iPad mount into the table riser. I had tried using the iPad mount clamp, but I couldn’t get the clamp to the attach in a position I liked and it took away some of the minimalist design of the Able Life table.Of course, an additional accessory could be designed by Able Life to recreate my solution and offer a mount for tablets… Able life, I release all rights to this idea should you pursue it - a simple credit or acknowledgment would be nice ?Using the table:Usage is straight forward. Pivot the top out of you way, sit down and pull the top towards you. The pivot of the table arm, combined with the swivel of the table mount, enables a wide range of motion and possibilities for getting position right for your set up. One downside is with this type of single arm design, and by no means a design flaw of the Able Life, the table can bounce a bit when writing or typing. It’s not a huge issue, however if you’re on a video call the other participants may see jostling.Reflecting on my earlier comment about using this on a couch, the more thought I give to that set up, the less comfortable I think this would be for all day use.If I could make any recommendations it would be to offer a few different color options. I’ll distress the top of mine to better match my decor and I’ll spray paint the base and riser an antique brown; again for aesthetics. I’d also suggest rounding off the edges of the table surface as they are a bit sharp.Summary:So, is this a good work from home solution for you? I would say you’d be hard pressed to find a better solution if you want a minimalist design, plenty of configuration options, a small footprint, the ability to use your existing furniture, especially an arm chair, and only need a work surface large enough for a laptop and using a mouse or writing with pad (legal size or similar).Few products are life-changing. This certainly changed mine.For everyone who spends a lot of time at home working on a laptop, the ability to do this on a completely stable surface that swivels easily out of your way while sitting on your comfortable couch (instead of on the floor) is amazing. Especially if you are older, and getting up and down from the floor all day (no matter how comfortable your cushions and backrest are), gets tiresome.I own three laptop riser stands, of different heights and weights, and they greatly improved my ease in using my laptop in the living room (who wants to sit at their office desk all day?) But the problem with riser stands, especially those with taller extendable legs, is that they are not stable. I learned this the hard way when my big high-end ASUS laptop got knocked off the riser onto the floor. It cost me $500+ to replace the motherboard !After that experience, I finally relented and bought this laptop stand/TV tray table. I hesitated because of the price and because I didn't want a piece of 'furniture' in front of my couch all the time. But I wish I had bought this product a long time ago, because it is great -- not only as a laptop stand, but also as a TV tray for eating at.The best part is that you can adjust the tray to any height you like (not pre-set increments like risers) and just push the tray lightly to the side when you are ready to get up off the couch. The tray swivels easily in many directions, so you can leave your laptop or food on it without fear that anything will tip over. It is a large and very stable surface.The assembly was pretty easy. The tray comes with all the tools you need. It took me a few hours, but I am a middle-aged woman who does not have a lot of 'home improvement' skills. If you can assemble a piece of IKEA furniture, you can assemble this.I see that some reviewers complained that this table does not fit under their armchairs, and I can see how that may be a problem. But if you have a couch, you will not have an issue. The base of the stand slides to fit a pretty big range of depths (the distance between your front and back legs, and then you simply tighten the bolts to keep it stable. Similarly, the height is easily adjustable to clear your couch arm, and you tighten the bolt when you are happy with the result. No more backache/neck ache from bending over to use your laptop! You can position it as close or far as you want.This is a simple but great product. I only wish I had bought this years ago. A++++This is a lovely table, but as my husband in totaly immobile we have to use a stand easy (I think that's what it's called) The wheels of the stand easy have to go under his rise and recline chair. With the table legs under the legs of the chair it is impossible to position the stand easy to assist my husband to move to his wheelchair. Its a shame because the table is very sturdy and strong and would be ideal if the legs didn't get in the way of the stand easy.We have found this table really useful. Before we had to use a folding table but with this one it can just be turned round out of the way and turned back when it has to be used. It is very sturdy and I found it easy to build. We now have 3. Two of the one in the picture and the other one has a handle which really helps with standing up from the chair.I would recommend this table to anyone.Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Only critisisim is that the tray could be a little bigger with a slight lip to stop items falling off.This table has worked very well for my disabled husband. However it wasn't easy to put together and a friend did it for us. Some of the bolt holes were not quite open and he had to file them. Definitely not for elderly to assemble but pleased with it now.
