A cantilever table top is supported on one side only so that the table can be positioned close to, or over the bed. Some have the option of a tilting top for supporting a book, newspaper, or writing paper at an angle.
Cantilever tables are much smaller than over bed tables, and are less sturdy.
Tables without castors are lower and may fit under a bed with only limited clearance, for example a divan style bed.
Tables with an open 'U' shape or a 'C' shape can also be used with a chair.
