Wouldn't this be simple enough to simply build? Sit in your bed with the
covers on and measure the height you think you'd like, and then let your
imagination run wild with the flat surface that the food sits on.

Of course something like this *must* be made out cherry, sprayed with a nice
latex paint.

From what I remember from designs in the hospitals I've seen, the main
important design element is to make sure that the casters are directly
below the tray, to prevent the thing from tipping over.

It's not clear if he was looking for a bed tray that sits on
the bed (just a platform with two sides) or the wheeled kind
that overhangs the bed.

I am looking for the type that sits on a bed, sorry about that.

I swear to God, when I first read the subject line I was thinking "bed
pan" instead of "bed tray plan". My mind merged the last word!

Indeed. First thought I had was one of the on bed type. OK guys
(and any gurls), that's why it's so important to give as many details as
you can think of when you ask questions.

I believe I posted plans, some time or another, for a bed type
tray. You'd have to check the archives. If not, it wouldn't be rocket
science to make one on your own.

You only need two tools: WD-40, and duct tape. If it doesn't move and
it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

OK, I'll keep it simple for you. Funnel, short section of hose,
bucket. LMAO

That might work half the time.

I would just decide what size you needed to hold the laptop then build it as
a "breakfast in bed tray"

What type of knee operation? unless its a really big one she won't be
spending more than a day or so in bed. usually people are up and around
pretty quickly and she may be sitting on the couch alot sooner tan you
think!
