Night table with book support extended (reading table)

On a customized night table (see related tip) a rotating wood board sits that serves as a reading table or snack table. The reading table has an edge at the bottom to prevent books or newspapers from sliding off the table. When the reading table is folded it enlarges the night table, which can then be used as a snack table.
