Abstract

A portable table device for holding and charging portable electronic devices while a user is sitting on a sofa includes a tabletop having a top side, a bottom side, and a peripheral side. A pair of handles is coupled to and extends downwardly from the bottom side. The pair of handles is positioned proximate to opposing lateral edges of the peripheral side. The pair of handles are spaced from each other and can receive an arm of a sofa between the pair of handles to position the tabletop over the arm of the sofa. A power cord is coupled to the tabletop. A plurality of charging ports is inset into the peripheral side and is exposed within the peripheral side. The plurality of charging ports is electrically coupled to the power cord. Each of the plurality of charging ports can receive a respective charging cable for an external electronic device.

         10 . The portable sofa table assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a depression extending into the top side of the tabletop, the depression having a surface area being smaller than a surface area of the top side wherein the depression is configured to retain the external electronic device on the top side when the tabletop is positioned over the arm of the sofa. 
     
     
         11 . The portable sofa table assembly of  claim 10 , further comprising a cup holder extending into the depression. 
     
     
         12 . The portable sofa table assembly of  claim 11 , further comprising a light being electrically coupled to the power cord, the light being positioned within the cup holder wherein the light is configured to illuminate the cup holder when the light is actuated. 
     
     
         13 . The portable sofa table assembly of  claim 12 , the light further comprising a light emitting diode. 
     
     
         14 . The portable sofa table assembly of  claim 12 , further comprising a button being coupled to the tabletop, the button being electrically coupled to the power cord, the button being electrically coupled to the light, the button being configured to actuate the light. 
     
     
         15 . The portable sofa table assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the depression has a rectangular shape.
