  I think the issue is that the base is supposed to be able to go under the bed to bring the table part over the bed.

  That table telescopes. Looks like it already has a way to adjust?

  In any case, you could also add feet to the bed

  The legs of the table need to go under the bed.

  Currently there’s zero space under the bed, that’s why I need something similar to a riser.

    Oh the ones at hospitals swivel around so they can go next to things.

    Can you take the tube out and rotate it 180 degrees?

    You would have to watch the balance a lot though

      This isn’t a terrible idea like I initially thought. Permanently attach a heavy counterweight to the base of the overbed table and it’ll be more stable.

      I’m hoping OP will be able to find an overbed table for situations where sliding the base under the bed isn’t possible. They can’t be the first person in the world with this problem.

        Without the base being under the table it is just a lever. Sure, people run into this, but you basically need a large and solid frame off to the side to keep it from tipping.
