I've had this desk piled full of text books since Christmas, and it is holding up well. If it's put together properly it feels very sturdy. I use it everyday, and it feels solid.

Its really sturdy. I dont keep anything crazy on it, but i am a messy mid twenty year old man, and it can handle my various gaming consoles, my laptop, lamp, and other electronics. I even stood on it once to put up a poster. As long as you keep it in good shape it should be fine. It is particle board though, so you wanna keep it in a dry environment to keep it structurally sound. And make sure you clean up any spilled liquids (i have a small bubble from the condensation on a glass; now I use a coaster)

Nope - this is pretty sturdy. I use it as a platform for paperwork next to the standup desk i bought that holds 2 mojitos & a keyboard.

The nested desk is quite sturdy. It does not freely roll out, retaining clips stop it from being removed inadvertently. The nested portion has 1-3/4" clearance from the top when nested.

It's not very sturdy at all and the the monitor of only 19 inch can fit in the space. I would not recommend buying the desk.

There is a little bit of wiggle, but id say its plenty stable. I use it for my main computer desktop, i spend 90% of my time at home at this desk and i'd definitely recommend it.

I wish I could answer this question honestly. I have had this desk for over 2 years and it still is as sturdy as the day I bought it. I have 2 monitors and a printer on the desk, and periodically have been known to lean on the desk. It really is a well built desk, glad I purchased it.

I have a Cannon printer which is about 10 pounds. The shelf is very sturdy and could probably hold about 20 pounds. The only complaint I have is my keyboard is an ergonomic and the shelf can't slide in all the way and the one drawer is a little too shallow. It's a great desk for the price..I love it.

I don't happen to keep heavy stuff on this desk so I really don't know. The legs are thin so I am guessing that the weight capacity is not too great.

I agree with all the prior comments about the wood NOT looking cheaply made. The desk is of sturdy construction!

This desk is very sturdy, but not very big. I only use it as a work surface for one on one skill testing with my students in the classroom. I think it can handle the weight of your monitor.

On a steady basis I have about 25-35 pounds of equipment on the desk. I have also knealed on it to faciliate hanging a picture so 130 pounds have been supported. They are very sturdy! Hope this info helps.

the whole desk is sturdy....could hold normal elbow weight or the weight of arms resting at the keyboard when typing. a heavy book would be okay.

Yes, very sturdy (make sure to build right). Agree it can handle the weight as long as you keep the heavier items closer to the drawers. Have had it for about 5 months and very happy with it.

The desk is very sturdy and the glass seems to be thick enough to withstand the weight. I personally wouldn't hesitate putting 3 monitors on it.

It is sturdy. My daughters ages 9 and 11, use it in their room. The put drinks and even their 15 inch laptop on it with no issues.

I don't think it is cheaply made. It is sturdy, though a handy person could make something similar. It is study and is very adjustable. I've been using mine for nine months and really like it. Way cheaper then buying an entire new stand-up desk.
