Customer Reviews of Invacare Tilt-Top Overbed Table
Customer Review: love the overbed table
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second one I tried and am very happy with it. Most of all I can lay down in bed and tilt the table and still use the computer easily!!!!! I would recommend this one to anybody and in fact , have already bought one for a gift!!!Customer Review: Deceiving Casters
Summary: 3 Stars
The product photo shows the table with chrome metal casters and presumably rubber wheels. However, the table I received included cheesy, plastic caster/wheels, the kind that slide over hard surfaces rather than smoothly roll over them. (I uploaded a customer photo of the ones I received). I am very disappointed in this as I specifically chose this table over similar ones that accurately depict the cheap wheels that I received. I'm even more disappointed in the seller (Medical Department Stores) who didn't respond to my initial complaint, but then said they were sorry I didn't like the design, but I got what I ordered. I disagree. I ordered what was pictured, and that is not what I received.
Medical Department Stores apparently does not offer refunds; they offer store credit. For credit, one has to pay the original shipping cost, the return shipping cost, an 18% restocking fee, and the shipping of whatever is selected as a replacement. It's cheaper to keep the item and order the pictured wheels separately, such as: ER Wagner Haydock Light Duty Stem Swivel Caster 2 Inch Soft Rubber Wheel 75 lbs Load Capacity
So, buyer beware. Don't expect quality wheels with your purchase and be careful from whom you buy.
UPDATE (AUG 15, 2010): I noticed that the product photo changes as the product seller changes. The photo shown at the time that I'm writing this update appears accurate--it shows the cheesy plastic wheels. But I also noticed that other sellers who offer this table are doing so using the picture with quality wheels. Again, caveat emptor.
As part of my update I decided to add another star. Other than the casters, the table seems to be of good quality and has served me well over the past 8-months.
Customer Review: Useful, but not as advertised
Summary: 2 Stars
We had purchased this particular table, because it was advertised to come DOWN to a certain height, the only one we could find online that would go this low (my bed is lower than standard). I was planning to use it while recovering from major surgery.
Unfortunately, once it arrived, we found that the lowest setting was still several inches higher than their description had claimed, which made it too high and too uncomfortable for me to use with my laptop, or anything else for that matter, by my bed.
As it turned out, I spent the next 2 months on the recliner in the living room anyway instead of my bed. The table is still too high to be truly comfortable, but it is usable.
It *IS* a sturdy table, rolls easily, and it's fairly easy to adjust the tilt. I just wish they had been more careful in their measurements...
Customer Review: Broken and not possiable to send back
Summary: 2 Stars
We ordered this for a surgery where the person would be in bed for a long time. It would have been perfect if it would rise and lower. It was malfunctioning and would not budge. We weren't able to take it apart right away to send it back and when we were able to, it was pretty much impossible to take apart. Not to mention sending it back would be very very difficult because of the weight of the packaging. Lesson learned on this one, not worth the risk to order something heavy that needs assembly. It was a giant waste of money and we really needed it.Customer Review: Tilt-top table, not so much
Summary: 1 Stars
This table does not live up to it's description. It will go up and down, but that's about it. If you need it to tilt, then I would suggest that you keep looking. When I took the table out of the box there were several loose pieces, which I discovered were the broken pieces that should have allowed the table to tilt. The seller did not respond to my e-mail regarding the defective table. Once I complained to Amazon, I received notice that a new one was on it's way with a contact name should I have any other difficulties. The second table arrived much like the first. The same hard plastic piece that allowed the table to tilt was broken. I tried e-mailing the contact name I was given, but like before no one responded. It wasn't until I put up a negative review about the seller that they tried to contact me. I received phone calls from the company trying to explain that they did not actually manufacture the item they were selling (as if that would excuse them from the responsibility of getting me an undamaged table) and because they were just having it dropped shipped from someone else, I should be more understanding. Amazon informed me that they would be refunding my purchase, ending the trying ordeal of the tilt-less table.
