Side tables? (1 Viewer)

[mummel]

So I have cup holders in my rail, but I need some side tables for bowls of snacks. My room is super tight, but I'm thinking 4 tables of 12" X 12" could probably work. I could push them against the walls for storage, and guys can reach behind them and pull them closer when seated.

They dont have to be fancy of anything. I dont need casters. I dont need cupholders. Just a small surface area. Heck even camping tables could work. But I kind of need 4 that are the same so it looks half decent.

I found these Ikea tables for $10 which I thought would be ideal, but they are 22" X 22", too big Any ideas?

Why not just some basic folding, wooden TV trays?

TV trays? Can probably find some for uber cheap on craigslist, garage sales, or on the curb.

 

[mummel]

Good idea thanks guys. I will see what I can find.

Had anyone used these TV tables. Are they stable? Dont want a bunch of drunk guys knocking them over!

 

[links_slayer]

Drunk guys are gonna knock over anything unless it's bolted to the floor.

I use for trays similar to those pictured and they work fine.

When considering small tables like you're describing, anything about that size is susceptible to being knocked over unless you weight the base with an iron plate. Ideally you'd have the dimensions of the surface wider/deeper than the table is taller, but for what you're looking for, that's not a realistic option. In other words, when it comes to these snack tables, don't worry too much about risk of table spillage - the risk is inherent, and you're accepting it by simply having them in use.

I've never heard of Search. I've used Ford, Chevy, and even Honda engines...not Search, though. Do they make diesels or something?

It's not gas combustion technology. It's from the future!

I use a group of nesting tables. They take up less space when not in use!

 

[mummel]

I like the idea of the table having a lip to stop glass bowls from sliding off:

But something that's reinforced on the bottom will have less of a chance of falling over.

But I know what I'm looking for now. Tons of TV tables on Amazon. I will find something. TY guys.

You must be referring to this. It's actually called "Mr. Fusion", not "Search".

$72 (16" X 16"):

$58 (15" X 19" - these ones are probably better shaped):

$61 (19" X 13")

TV trays, with recessed cut-outs for the bowls and jumbo cup holders for the drinks. Cheap and effective. Cover with felt to match poker table.

$72.50

I can make them nesting as well, as in 1 will fit inside the other, so 4 will only take up the space of 2. I'm also transitioning to solid wood for these.

$10. Craigslist.

 

[mummel]

Yeah Tony those are great, as always! But I dont need the cupholders. Will probably just go with the faux marble ones because of the dimensions, TY guys.

 

[T_Chan]

Didn't notice you didn't want cup holders. The faux marble ones look good.

Be prepared for flying bowls and beer-stained felt. You heard it here first.

I use these and they are fine. Not super steady but they do well. I like that I can fold them up and fit them in the closet.

Im going to get the same, maybe the black ones to go with my rail. If I use coasters, I think it will stop stuff sliding around.

Haha! These are awesome

Perfect for my spaceship game
