Some of the reviews seem to be for a diff item. I want to know how sturdy this table is? I'm looking at a stand with a drawer &amp; 2 shelves.

I love this item! It went together perfectly and is as sturdy as it can be for the size of it. I'm not a 100% sure what your expectation of sturdy is. If you expect to be able to put a lot of your body weight on it, I would say it's not meant for that. Is you are concerned about a toddler or baby being able to pull it over, anchor it to the wall, or just make sure they don't play with it. I hope this helps.

Hi Lori, I was pleasantly surprised and yes it is very sturdy. It was much nicer then i expected for the money.

The legs are sturdy. Mine supports a fold down wood table top that is heavy without any issues. The table can be loaded up in normal use and the bracket stays sturdy. If you only use one bracket I would make sure the load stays under about 25 pounds and is balanced. If you use 2 or more legs where stability is not a problem I think the legs would easily support 75 plus pounds.

Yes, the shelves are very sturdy. I just use mine for books, mostly hardcover. I weighed the books I had on a shelf and it was just over 17lbs. That was just one shelf. All my shelves are filled that much and I haven't had a problem with any bowing/distorting of the shelves. I don't see why they couldn't be used to create a very unique and creative liquor display.

Sorry for the delay of my answer! I think it pretty sturdy. Had for almost a years now, moved it three times. Has not weakened the shelves yet. I think it would do nicely with the display of wine/liquor, as long it not too heavy. The shelves r supported by that back middle piece. Hope this helps. As long it is not too heavy/many bottles. My shelves is mostly Harry Potter cellections. Books etc. (heavy things) r mostly in the middle and bottom shelves. Hope it works well for u. Would ur last name be Truttel? If not ignore this question. If it is Let me know, been looking for her, lost college friend. Anyway, Hope this help. Julia Sorry for the delay of my answer! I think it pretty sturdy.

Definitely...the accent table isn't super strong but it is sturdy...I would make the whole prior to assembling tho (obviously )...I have 2 and they look good and are solid.

Glad you asked. First, be prepared....I had to have this item RE-shipped 4 times due to damage to it during shipping....you read that right - 4 times. I didn't give up because I like the look of it......so, when I finally got an intact, undamaged one I assembled it and it was quite sturdy and good looking. It's made well, but the wood can be soft......how much "weight" do you think you'll be putting in/on it? It can easily handle 100 pounds, but not much more. Good luck!

Mine is quite sturdy. Not sure I would let an adult sit on it, but would probably support the weight of my 10-year-old stepson. It gets a lot of wear from people resting their feet on the bottom shelf, which I should have foreseen, but it came with a touch up marker, so it still looks good.

I would caution about overloading. Yes, it is sturdy, but that is greatly affected by the total weight you place on it. I have two of these. I believe if every shelf was fully loaded with books and someone gave it a good shove from the side, it would collapse sideways, tearing itself apart. You notice that illustrations show it empty or with the fabric drawers. the manufacturer intended it for medium to lightweight storage, not as a bookshelf. It might hold the weight well for a while, then fail when additional stress is added. This unit is made from wood particles pressed together with glue, then covered with a pretty coating. It does not have the strength of solid wood.

I have found this to be a solid table, and it has withstood bumps and thumps better than any table I have had. We use it in the kitchen, where it does receive abuse. Be sure to tighten all screws when assembling and check them occasionally to make sure they stay tight. I think the screw construction is part of the reason it is sturdy.

This piece of furniture is poorly made. I actually didn't have much luck with this item as it snapped into two. I definitely would not suggest anything heavy since I used it as a bookshelf. Each contained nothing more than paperbacks and it flopped. Hated it. Good luck!

Hi, I actually sent it back almost immediately. It looked great but was not sturdy enough for my use. With a lack of weight, almost every time I pulled a drawere it almost tipped the unit. I found a much heavier and tawler option with glass doors to hold my CDs and I would not be pulling out drawers. Hope this helps.

Hello, this is an excellent piece of furniture. It looks great and is very sturdy. It is exactly as described. I have mine backed against a wall but I think it will do just fine as a coffee table as well. I would not put any drinks or anything wet on it, as it could mess up the finish. There are no cardboard pieces. All sides are sturdy, solid pieces. I will say that when mine arrived the corner of the front piece was broken during shipment so I called the manufacturer and they shipped me a new piece within two days at no cost. Excellent customer service and I know you will be pleased with this chest. Good luck! Hello, this is an excellent piece of furniture. It looks great and is very sturdy. It is exactly as described.

The description is probably accurate. I am not a strong female but I can handle the table. It is beautiful and I love it. It is a real nice addition to my home and I am proud to have this table out with friends or family. I guess it would depend on where you are going to store this table...i.e....in the basement and you have to bring it up stairs or in a back room where you don't have to carry it upstairs. Set up is simple and I do it all the time. My suggestion is - get it - you won't be disappointed. I love mine.

It's a pretty sturdy drawer for the most part, but I believe it wouldn't hold up to resting on it. I tried it and I feel if I had put all my weight on it, it would probably have broken. As far as using it for the keyboard and normal use it has held up very well for me and I'm satisfied with my choice in it.

I sit at an architects drawing table that is at standing height. It has so many adjustments that you are bound to find a combination of settings that are just right for you. The one concern I had was for stability when leaning clear back - not to worry. It has five legs/rollers and it is Very sturdy. I feel like I could jump on it (I really haven't tried it! No sense pushing your luck) and it would stand the abuse. I absolutely love mine.
