HI: Possibly useful: get a bed side table -- the kind that is adjustable vertical and is used over the bed for bed ridden patients. I some some hand ones-- they have casters and roll anound. Additional table top area can be added using flat head screws, wood or bolts & nuts. I have used mine for many things from table for slide projector to computer stand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RSM comment above~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At 09:03 AM 6/27/99 , you wrote: >Both my husband and I spend a great deal of time in the kitchen cooking >all sorts of things.
