Comment on How Can I Make this Legless Bed Rise 2-inches?

  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.

      I think if you put a 50 pound barbell plate on there it would be pretty secure

        Placed at the very end it would be evenly balanced at 50 lbs. It would be OK around 20ish lbs that didn't move, but a little weight plus setting things down would make it wiggle and possibly tip since something moving down has more force than the object itself.
