I thought about making a cover with pockets to put over the over the bed stand. It is almost like a tablecloth, fitted with pockets hanging down on all sides to hold excess stuff. Make several to change out. But be aware of how the stand is to be used. If the stand is lowered, will the pockets fall to the sides spilling everything, maybe put zippers/velcro on them. The residents want things handy but stored away and neat looking in case of visitors. Have now made one yet, but the idea is there.
