Staff, Courtesy of Zoopolyn
Sometimes after a long day, all you want is to relax with a great meal in front of the screen. Thankfully, there is no longer any need to haul your plate to the couch and eat from your lap. TV trays offer both practicality and style, upgrading your at-home cinema experience. These TV trays allow you to have a real meal, in a civilized way, all while catching up on your favorite shows.
What to Consider
TV trays can be just that, but also so much more. Keep the below in mind and your purchase will have a happy Hollywood ending.
Size: Do you picture yourself needing enough room for a small plate and a drink, or do you want to eat a full meal, and have enough room for a Kindle and a magazine too?
Who Is Using It: If you're buying a tray for your elementary school-aged kids, you're going to need a much different product than you would if you were buying one for their mobility-challenged grandparent. We have an array of trays that will suit a variety of lifestyles and needs.
Accessories: Some of our trays come with a removable top, some swivel, some have wheels, extra shelves, and cup holders. Think about all of the ways you will want to use it, and where, before making the final purchase.

We considered all of the different ways a TV tray might come in handy for people of all ages and lifestyles. We reviewed hundreds of options, consulted experts and sought out consumer reviews, then compiled our best of the best, below.
