The Folding Bedside Shelf is designed to tuck neatly into the side of your bed. It is a lightweight bedside table that works by unfolding a plastic ledge and inserting it beneath your mattress. It works equally well on a futon or sofa. With the Folding Bedside Shelf, you can gain a side table wherever you want. Just insert the folding ledge underneath a mattress, pillow, or cushion, and now you have a storage surface at your disposal. The folding ledge has strong hinges made of durable ABS plastic, making it a great stand for your ipad, tablet, or e-reader. The Folding Bedside Shelf comes with convenient cord holders along the sides and provides enough space for phones, wallets, and tablets.
