Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This item may be suitable if used on a concrete or tiled floor with an extremely heavy chair having legs right at the front corners. At that it could possibly serve as a support for a small to mid-sized book providing the reader was prepared to tolerate the incessant vertical bounce of the tray every time a page was turned. Forget trying to eat a meal off of the soggily supported tray surface - it would end up somewhere other than intended - and risking a beverage on this teeter-totter would be a surefire recipe for disaster. When the product is used in a carpeted area it is absolutely doomed to failure. The combined weight of the chair and it's occupant press the flimsy base into the carpet at the point of contact of the chair leg, causing the tray to slope down away from the support to the extent that a plate placed thereon promptly slides to the floor.
The unit was purchased in this instance with the intention of supporting a computer monitor (weight 18#). It did perform this function but the monitor weight increased the slope of the tray to a ridiculous extent rendering it useless for the intended purpose. Worse yet, with an 18# load (out of a rated 50#) the swinging action of the tray was so stiff that it required an assistant to help swing the tray into position when sitting down and to swing it out again when standing up. Unbelievable!
So the item was returned. Amazon indicates a restocking charge of 18%. After a week of chasing the manufacturer and their distributor we now have two different RMA #s, two different sets of instructions for making the return - one a "pick-up" by the carrier, the other to deliver the item to the carrier - and we will be charged a 25% restocking fee along with the $40 for freight. After 10 days the item is still in limbo while we await clear instructions on handling the return AND the return policy is only valid for just 10 days!
Positively NOT RECOMMENDED!
