Abstract

A table is provided for use in association with a bed including a base member, a tubular support column and a table top. The support column includes an upper tubular portion telescopically mounted over a lower tubular portion; a locking spring mechanism for maintaining upward tension against the upper portion; release means for overcoming the spring mechanism to permit lowering of the upper portion; and means to permit the table top to horizontally pivot a pre-determined amount relative to the support column and be locked in a fixed position. The table top is mounted to the support column, in cantilever fashion, and includes a mirror recessed in the table top.
