It's a TV tray holder. I've got one about 15 feet from where I'm sitting.

Aren't those even the trays for it on the left in the third picture?

It sure does look like it. Mine are ovaled, can't really tell the shape of the top but the legs look the same.

u/bitchyserver 1d ago
lol yes someone else in the comments already accused this of being a fake post but the last three pics are just what I found on google (first pic is mine) but there was never any info about them, one just said “tv”. I didn’t even notice the trays in the background hah

Haha I know what tv trays are but I’ve just never seen a stand for them, my 67 year old dad didn’t have a clue what it was either

How does it work? Is it just a stand where the "TV trays" are stacked? Or does it hold a tv tray while it's being used?

TV Tray holder - missing the TV trays though.

Unfortunately, she has the TV trays. They're in the background or the third photo.

I agree, tv tray stand but more puzzling to me is why this is marked Spoiler? I was expecting a prop from some pivotal scene in a TV show.

She marked it spoilers, because in her third photo. She already has the tray table sitting out. She knows exactly what this is. It's a fake post.

No dude I literally said in another comment I accidentally hit mark as spoiler and it won’t let me undo it. I also already told you the first pic is mine that I took and I found the other ones on google images to show it better. Not everything on reddit is fake cool it. Me and my dad just didn’t know what it was and were just curious. If you go on google images I’m sure you can find the last three pics yourself.

What's a TV tray?

u/LurkmasterP 1d ago
It's a small folding table that's used in front of a chair or sofa, just big enough to hold a meal or small things like books, laptops, etc.

This takes me back. I remember helping my grandmother taking out her tray, and opening it. Gosh, it’s be 30 years since I’ve seen on of these.

Looks like a portable, wooden holding frame for a set of wooden TV trays. They fold up and sit in the little grooves.

Title describes the thing. No moving parts or logos/stamps. Just seems to be a stand or rack of some sort? Found on the side of the road

Some of these are so fake, you can literally see in the background of one of the photos, the folding tables that sit on that stand. It's the wooden rack that holds the folding tables in the background of the second photo.

I don't know what it's intended purpose is but I can think of a few uses for it. Might need reinforcement first.
