Drive should know better than to release a table with no height lock
from a company that makes so many medical devices this is a bad design that needs major improvement in the height adjustment mechanism. I expected a table that was not hospital grade and the materials used are pretty good.. the steel is thick and wheels are large enough.. but the lift mechanism has no way to lock the table in place. A slight pressure under the table like your knee hitting it while you are in bed will make the table jump a couple inches up. Yes I tightened the screws and replaced the one that is used for shipping.. the fact is they never thought of adding a height lock to this table but someone could get hurt if they are eating hot food or coffee and their knee taps the bottom of the table.. it will jump a good 2 to 4 inches.
I had other issues with this table but I can not post them here.. they keep blocking my review when I talk about them but it those issues were not with the manufacture of the table.
I ended up getting another table here that has screw adjusters. it is a manual height adjustment but the height is fixed at whatever height you set it at. It is much safer and thats what matters when someone is already in a bed due to injury or illness.. not to do more harm to them.
