is the desk strong for a person to sit on it?

NO! Oh good heavens, no, especially not the middle. I tempt the gods of every religion, including ones that haven't been thought of yet, by merely having my monitor and many sundry small items on it on a regular basis. A person who knows nothing about woodworking could probably get completely high, like Denver, Colorado high, chug a fifth of good whiskey, eat a large amount of magic mushrooms, and then bash themselves in the face with a hot iron until they actually saw not just stars and birds and pink elephants and dancing mushrooms...and they would still put together a more sturdy desk than this thing.

The keyboard is a bit over four feet long, so as long as the desk is of a similar width and reasonably sturdy, it should be stable.

If you anchor the desk into wall studs and mount the desk correctly to the anchored rail as instructed (not difficult to do), you will have no problem leaning on the desk. In fact you can load up the shelves with books and use the desktop to hold a laptop computer with no worries. This desk is very sturdy.

My son has the desk he says it is, but feels the desk is a bit cheaply built! So maybe don't buy.

It is completely sturdy. However, this is a fairly tall table, more like a work bench than a desk.

no, the desk top is part of the structure strength ... it's actually a particleboard top attached to a steel tube frame ... you'd have to fabricate parts to tie the lower half together without the desktop

The two legs are of heavy construction and wrigh quite a bit. Plus angling the monitor on both sides inwards gives it stability....other it is more prone to fall backwards. There is also a vice clamp that can be used to secure it to desk. I am using a glass desk so I am unable to use clamp but have had no troubles.

yes. But i would be careful when placing things on the hutch if it's not secure. I could move and potentially fall of the desk.

I don't have anything incredibly heavy on here; however, because it uses the wall as support and has pretty sturdy legs I'd say quite a bit of weight wouldn't be an issue. I love this desk!

Maybe 50lbs. The metal legs with composite desktop are pretty solid. I keep mine against a wall so it's braced and it doesn't move and it seems sturdy. I keep a computer, mug, clock and stack of papers on it and it's fine. The legs are held in place by two metal catches underneath which can come unhooked if you lift the desk up. I did it once and learned quickly.

It's very sturdy.. Make sure read directions before assrmbling. It's not difficult. Chair needs cushion but it's a good desk,

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.

The desk is solid for the price. In saying that I only have a laptop and books on mine - I do not have a problem.

Yes the height of the table works well for sitting and working. It is a little bit longer than a typical desk.

Your computer will be fine. I've put at least 100+ lbs. on this desk at various times, but wouldn't do it regularly. It regularly holds 25-50 lbs, so you should be more than fine.

We use the top bunk occasionally when my teenage son's friend come for a sleep over. I can tell you that because of the layout of the bed, where the desk and the side cupboard are the actual support of the top bed and because of the structure of the top bed and how it's build, I can tell you that it is really sturdy. I would assume that a heavier than average person could be easily supported.

While it is sturdy to prop your feet on if the person is not too heavy I would say yes. We were very pleased with this ottoman and I've sat on it and if you keep stuff inside it will make it even sturdier.
