what is the inside measurement of the base side to side? thanks

The previous poster who quoted 20" and 15" measured the outside and inside of one of the side legs. If I understand you correctly, you're looking for the inside measurement inside the 2 open ends of the U-shaped base. This measurement would tell you how wide of a chair you could use with this table. There's a very small, slightly rounded part on the inside corners of the bottom/closed end of the U. The inside measurement at the bottom is 26". The inside base measurement on the open end is 26.25".

This is perfect for my needs. I use it as a laptop table. It is sturdy, the problem I have is the table top slants downward. Can it be adjusted?

The table is generally good quality materials, but there are two small brackets welded to the main support pedestal that the table top bolts to that are critical to whether the top slopes down from the pedestal to the free hanging end of the top. The weld quality is probably OK, but the placement of the brackets appears to be the problem. I had checked the previous reviews before I bought this table, and noticed that there were multiple comments about the top sloping down, and some had added washers below the top to solve the problem. When I receive my table, the first thing I did was to check the table top and the top of the pedestal to see what the problem was, and if it varied from table to table. I found the brackets on mine were OK on the outside of the pedestal (Opposite the long part of the table, but the bracket toward the inside (long side of table) was at least 1/16" lower on the pedestal than the flush location where the brackets should have been welded. I made a trip to the hardware store to buy some washers before I assembled the table. I bought a couple of flat standard washers and a couple of lock washers. I ended up needing only the lock washers, but regular washers would have worked as well. I wanted to have a few options to make it work, and just adding the two lock washers did the trick. After completing the assembly according to the instructions, except for adding the lock washers between the table top and the brackets on the two bolts on the long side of the table top. This leveled the table top to avoid the sagging long end noted by others for less than a dollar. Although I would recommend the table manufacturer change their welding jigs so the 1/16" gap can be reduced to level with the pedestal top, I doubt that the manufacturer really cares or it would have already been fixed. The 1/4" diameter lock washers or standard washers are common enough that many people would have them in a toolbox or in a collection of common fasteners frequently accumulated by home owners, I had given mine away when I moved from my house to the senior housing I now live in. But I have a couple of spares in my toolbox now if ever needed.

What clearance is needed for the base to fit under a bed?

I assume you are asking how high the base (with the wheels) on it is. Answer: not to high, I estimate 3 1/2 inches max. But that's a guess. This is a great table by the way. It's very sturdy. All metal.
