The table's adjustable arm and light weight make it flexible in function. It has been suggested that Gray originally designed the table for her sister, who ate breakfast in bed; by holding a dining tray above the bed, rather than directly on the bed, the spill of crumbs could be avoided.

Before her death, Eileen Gray sold the design to British furniture manufacturer, Aram.
