I have a bed that looks like this, doesn’t have legs. I have a bed that looks like this, doesn't have legs.

I was looking at bed risers, but they’re aimed for beds with legs. Also, the risers make the bed rise too high for my needs.

I only need to make the bed rise for about 2-inches so I can use an overbed table like this.

    The legs of the table need to go under the bed.

    Currently there’s zero space under the bed, that’s why I need something similar to a riser.

        This isn’t a terrible idea like I initially thought. Permanently attach a heavy counterweight to the base of the overbed table and it’ll be more stable.

        I’m hoping OP will be able to find an overbed table for situations where sliding the base under the bed isn’t possible. They can’t be the first person in the world with this problem.

          Without the base being under the table it is just a lever. Sure, people run into this, but you basically need a large and solid frame off to the side to keep it from tipping.

              Placed at the very end it would be evenly balanced at 50 lbs. It would be OK around 20ish lbs that didn’t move, but a little weight plus setting things down would make it wiggle and possibly tip since something moving down has more force than the object itself.
