When this product is open, would it stay open with weight on it? Say if we put food on it? We have a low couch and this seems perfect as the other lift top coffee tables are too high for our needs.

I have had it loaded with 3-4 pounds of stuff and it seemed to be okay. Due to the construction technique, I wouldn't trust any more than that on it.

You should be able to put food on it with it open. I have candles on mine and always have it opened and they are secure. The top is secured to the table and there really is no up and down shifting when it is opened.

To give a little more info. The top is secured to a simple wood bracket that slides along a wooden track on the two walls of the table. Unless screws are loose or the bracket to slide along wall rails was never assembled, I don't think you'll run into an issue

The top of this table does not lift...it slides. We have the table situated so that the tabletop slides towards the couch, and it is plenty sturdy to put a laptop on and get work done. did so today during a snow day!

Yes it will. It is heavy enough on the base to support the top open, even with food on top.

I have a bad habit of sitting on my furniture and it holds up under my weight (over 100 lbs). I don't imagine it would have any difficulties holding up under a desk top. if you're worried though, you could reinforce it with another 2X4 at the joints...

I haven't truly tested its capabilities. My 4 & 8 year old were on it at the same time with no issues. I have a large tray on it and use it as a coffee table so there's not much weight put on it. It's a lovely piece and I always get complements on it. I highly recommend this as a coffee table, but not as a peice of furniture to be sat on a regular basis. Sorry I can't be more help.

I bought it to use at a high counter. I originally had trouble getting it up, but I've never needed to lower it.Sorry not to be of help.

The design prevents it from tipping. Mine is full and I've never had an issue. Would be difficult to tip it over, actually.

The top does stay open. which is great if your cat is still doped up from surgery. our cats weight 14 & 15 lbs. had no problems for me as well as our vet. : )

Hi I have had this table for 2 1/2 years I have lugged it up Inn stairs it is very light I have had several tables over the years I watch others struggle with heavy tables Easy flip and set up. I would get another one of the same if I needed one

It would hold your weight just fine. It's a very small couch. We got it for my sons room for him to sit on and play his Xbox. It seats two. We love it as it suits its purpose just fine. But yes, my husband sits on it, we sit on it together, so it will hold your weight.

yes, but the table top has NO stability so anything on it slides off even if its not moving. I bought this when my husband was ill to use at the couch it was a complete failure, nothing stayed on it, if he tried to eat off it everything moved. Lowering it was difficult. JUNK

It's rated for 500lbs so I don't see a problem for you but I do have some issues with the table. The foot pedal sticks out so far you have to be careful. I put a red bucks over pedal when not using it. Also table doesn't stay pumped over night even if there's no weight on it but probably be ok while your working on something. Maybe there's some adjustment that can be made. It's cold weather here and I haven't looked into it.

The table will hold it I think. It is wobbly. If ayone was to touch the table it may fall over. I use the table for looks. It is not a sturdy reliable table. Mine was cracked when I received it.

That's the reason I bought it in the first place. We ended up not needing it but I think you still can use if for that purpose. You may have to put a book or something in the center to be sure it's stable enough because it is a trifold tennis table. But I have a 10 lb cat who loves to lay on it and it doesn't sag. Good luck.

This was a concern of mine, too. I'd say it's pretty stable, but can be pulled over if they put all of their weight into it. I bought this table for my daughter right around the pulling up stage, and she toppled it maybe a couple of times. For the most part, it's fine. And even when she did pull it over, it's low enough to the ground that she didn't fall very hard. Unless you have a little daredevil, it would probably be fine.

Yes, it will stay open. That's why I like this one, with the stitching around the edges, cause it gives it some weight.

I would say both - but in my case the couch sides are high enough where this would not work as an end table - it's a perfect height as a coffee table (or footrest) in front of the couch - just look at the height specs and see if that works for you

Yes. The table stays stationary and the top extends up and towards one side (in this case, toward the sofa). I have one and it works great.

You have a unit that is less in weight than I am using. I have an old 32" standard TV--almost takes two to lift it. The unit has been on the stand for over one year. There is no evidence of weakening or sag in the stand. I would highly recommend this to you. It is strong, easily assembled, and has the appearance of a fine piece of furniture.
