The table is more sturdy than expected, so that's good. It is wide and fits over mums riser/recliner chair perfectly. Yet it's light enough for her to be able to push it out of the way to get up. It has brakes if needed. Plenty of room to eat, do jigsaws or other activities. Very impressed with the table, the customer service keeping in contact with the order progression and delivery - arrived in less than 48 hours from order being placed.
