Yes, very stable. You would have to push down hard on one of the front corners to make the Buddy tip over.

Yes. You could say it was built for safety – its patented design has no corner legs at the front to trip you.

Well, not only do they give the Buddy an interesting look, but they serve other important functions. Firstly, conventional vertical legs on wheels can generate vibration when moved backwards and forwards, and that’s not good for things like drinks – angled legs do not vibrate. Also, vertical corner legs would make it harder to reach objects on the lower shelves – with angled legs, you can reach what you want from the sides, without a leg obstructing you.

The front of that shelf acts as a bumper bar when it comes into contact with your sofa. Without it, the pointed legs below would damage your sofa, eventually. It also acts as a handle, to pull the Buddy to you. It has identical handles on the lower shelves at the back. And it’s a great place to put all your remote controls. You don’t even have to pick them up – just look down through the top glass, press the button of choice, and control your TV and stereo that easily. It’s a remote control holder on wheels!

It’s tempered safety glass. And one of its see-through advantages is the ability to select objects from the lower shelves without having to bend sideways to see them – in fact, you can pick up a TV guide and read it right through the glass.

No. Why should it? Everyone thinks of coffee tables as being roughly 18 inches high but few – even in the furniture trade – can tell you why. "So you can rest your feet on it," some say. Others say simply: "Dunno…never thought about it." And that's the truth – we accept it because it's traditional. But we live 21st century lifestyles that have changed so much since 18 inch coffee tables first hit the market. Now, we have “dens”, or "media rooms", filled with modern gadgets…..except for – until now, that is – the 24 inch Sofa Buddy. And, contrary to what you may think, it does not, at that height, intrude on an intimate atmosphere, or interfere with conversation…..

Yes, because tables are big and chairs are smaller. But sofas are big, way big – have you ever tried pulling one up to a table? So, we had to switch things around – pull the table up to the sofa. Once we figured that out, all we had to do was add wheels and raise the table 6 inches, so it could clear our knees...and move the front legs into the middle, of course, so that folks could come and go easily, without the danger of tripping and falling over conventional corner legs – that’s a great patented safety feature.
