I need a high table for one (disabled) person to sit and eat at..

But I can't find one anywhere on the net. My disabled elderly dad sits at his kitchen work top to eat his meals but I want to get him a small two ring electric cooker to sit on the work top (to replace his existing gas cooker; he/carers keep knocking the gas as they pass the cooker and my dad has no sense of smell I am frightened he will gas himself!)

The only place the new cooker could go is where he sits to eat.. so I need to get him a small high table so that he can sit and eat at that instead.

It needs to be about the same height as a kitchen work top. I have searched disability eqipment website but can't see anything (they are mainly tables to go over beds) and can't see anything appropriate on ordinary furniture websites.

I don't know about a trolley-table type thing.. can't see a high one at the moment.

Does anyone know of anything suitable?

Or it could be just something (stable) to stand the small cooker on.. and dad could carry on sitting where he does now to eat his meals..

If you are going to take the old cooker out - you could put a kitchen trolley there with the new cooker on top?? Plus you would have storage underneath...?

Yes I can do that.. but I need one to make the cooker as high as it would be on a work surface, and most trolleys don't seem to be that high..

Have you tried Ikea? they do one called Bjorkudden, which is 102cm high. I think it is for barstools to go under, would that be high enough?

Not sure how to do links or I would do one for you!

Can you buy some more work top and put it where the gas cooker is.You could put the new cooker on that at the height you want it.

Ikea also do fold down tables that screw to the wall, so can be put in at any height.
