Nope. My Brightech is going to Kohl's Amazon return desk. First of all, the 5 diopter (2.25x) was so distorted I was getting dizzy, too strong for me. I had to keep moving the linen to get it clear, closer was best, which didn't leave much room for stitching. I do not believe that's a quality issue with the lens, just too strong and sensitive. 3 diopter (1.75x) is much better for me (even better than my 4.0x glasses) but the return is also because of its condition. The screws removed on the base stem (to slip the rod over) had rust in the threads. We could not get the rod to fit over that stem, the spring inside would not depress. Looking inside to see why, the interior of the steel rod was rusty. The base was scuffed. The flexible arm was not. I did not have the strength to bend it and was expecting it to easily move up and down. The styrofoam box was broken in two. Was it used? Or sitting in a warehouse too long? We never plugged it in or actually assembled it. Not acceptable for that price. I'm sure this is isolated but there are sellers on Amazon that sell returns and buy rejects. It would be the perfect size for that area and it has excellent reviews. Ordering from the manufacturer after contacting customer service about the flexibility would be a good idea.
Another option is the larger sized tray table that slides beneath chair or sofa and offers a nice flat surface over your lap, but I would want an angled book holder for the chart. I've used a bed table before but Carole needed something after her surgery, and it's still there. I like having a large area like this and can attach a cup holder to the side of the leg or top for my water. Macy's has one with a drawer making smaller projects easy to tuck out of sight.
Spellcheck has disappeared from the top right corner of the post page, replaced by a T for formatting. ???? If there are errors, deal with it.
Enjoy the weekend!!

Thats so strange about your Brightech, my arm moves so easily and smoothly I barely have to touch it, must have got a return with wrong parts in it.
I got my father in law a table from QVC that is large and fits easily under a couch or a recliner. I can't remember what it's called but it cant be hard to find. He loves his for crafting, you might want to check it out. They have easy returns as well.
I use a LORAN magnetic board and stand to prop up my cross stitch pattern. Their not expensive and I’ve used mine for years. Hugs,
I use a stand for tablets that I bought with Ikea-very cheap and light and easy when using.
Have a great weekend
Greetings, Truus from Holland
I have a table that slides under my chair or couch for stitching. It has different heights and can slant. Believe it or not I purchased it at Wal-mart for $16. I've had it for about four years now and I love it!
The table that adjusts different heights and slants is called Table Mate. I have two. One is 18 x 14 and the larger one is 20 x 25. They have a metal frame and fold in on themselves to slide in a closet or under furniture. The tabletop is washable. Mine is white but I have seen them in several colors. Hope this helps!
I know it is awful when you cannot adjust your lighting correctly. I have broken two Ottlites where the gray plastic attaches to stand. Don't know my own strength I guess. My husband figured out how to attach to a different ( broken ) Mighty brite stand! I do not use a table I only stitch in my sewing room with a table beside me. Good luck with the search.
The T was always there, it's useful when you've copied some text from another place and Blogger decides to give it a coloured background, or use a different font!
But spellcheck going is annoying. Even though it defaulted to US spelling, not UK.
