Abstract

An overbed table having a supporting base, an adjustable vertical column on the base and a table top supported by a cantilever mourned support brace mounted between the vertical column and the end of the supported table top. The table top can have a slidable vanity drawer mounted on the bottom of the table top. A second table top can be pivotally mounted under the table top. The table can also have a double table top. The double table top has spaced frictional driving wheels which cooperate with configured edges on a pair of vertically stacked table tops. One table top is operatively positioned between the driving wheels, while the second table top is operatively coupled to the outside surface of the driving wheels. Motion by either table top in a first direction will cause the other table top to move in the opposite direction. A vanity drawer can be mounted under the lower table top.
