Swivelling over-chair table

A physically frail lady was unable to leave her special chair when she used a standard over bed type table as she is not strong enough to push this out of the way.

A welded steel ‘A’ frame tower was built to support a long swivelling vertical tube, in turn attached to the varnished plywood table top. The ‘A’ frame was to have been screwed into the floor but the client decided against this and eight bricks were used to hold it stable, held in place by a large staple-like device.

The client is very pleased as she can now have her telephone and writing materials close to her and can easily push the table to one side when she wishes to get out of the chair.
