is this table good for eating on, and how much weight will it support
290888
The table is excellent for eating on, as that's probably what it was designed for (I've been using it mainly for working on my laptop). As to how much weight it supports, I have no way of measuring that. The table is attached to the post by a large flat metal support that extends almost half the length of the underside of the table. The weakest point must be where 6 screws attach this piece of metal to the table, which is probably made of some kind of pressboard. I suppose if someone sat on it, the table would eventually separate from the metal support. But barring flagrant abuse, I don't expect that the table will fail during my lifetime.

Sure you can serve a meal on it. The specs only allow for 25lb at it's lowest setting but I suppose a plate of food and a drink wouldn't tax it at all. Here are the specs Adaptable tilt-top allows three angle positions in either direction using tilt-release lever Light upward touch allows table ot elevate freely; downward touch on tabletop locks into position Durable, heavy-gauge, chrome-plated welded tubular steel construction Supports up to 25 pounds of evenly distributed weight when table is in lowest position Base: 15.5inchW x 26inchL. Dimension: Table top: 75inchH x 15inchW x 30inchL. Height adjustment: 30inch to 45inch. Bracket: Column/base/support: 14/16/13 gauge Sure you can serve a meal on it.

Yes, I use it for eating. It also holds my laptop so I can sit in bed and play my computer games!! :-) It's quite sturdy and adjust up, down and on an angle very easily.

the table top is just a little smaller than the wheel print on the floor , so it is very stable, it holds I think they say 25 lbs. there is alot of space on the table, yes it good to eat off of.

It is quite sturdy, but I wouldn't put more than 350 lbs on it. This is simply an estimate, as I haven't tested the maximum weight. Regardless, this table is quite a deal, given the price.

I would not feel comfortable with putting 300 lbs on it. I am using it as a kitchen prep table, with the bottom shelf for light items such as a crock pot, stainless bowls, and frying pans. The table is quite solid and does not wobble, however, in my opinion it is a great work surface rather than a storage table.

It's able to easily withstand 100lbs. I used it to support about half of my weight one day and it easily handled it. Not sure if I'd go much higher than that. If whatever you're putting on the table had a wide base it will support more as it will distribute the weight more evenly across the top of the table.

It's a pretty sturdy table, about average for a pub table. I wouldn't recommend placing anything overly heavy on it...but a few pint glasses and a pitcher of your favorite beverage is just fine.

I would keep it for light things only. It seems to be quite sturdy and could probably take a heavy plant or something of that nature; I'm sure it would hold up to a statue but I'm not sure for how long. It seems to be durable, but again, I'm only using it for a lamp and maybe a plant beneath. That would probably be around the 25 lb range. It's up to your discretion, but I would buy a table with thicker legs for a heavy statue. Hope this helps.

The table seems flimsy until it is all put together. When together it's very sturdy and can hold a lot. I've had over 50 lbs on it with no problems.

Absolutely. Two of us eat on this table with no problem at all. There is plenty of space for two people to utilize it for eating or working on a computer.

It was purchased for a grandson and is at his house. I would guess the other answer is close. We found the table to be stable and well-built. Our grandson is three years old; so, that may make a difference in our perspective on durability.

It is a very sturdy table. However, I don't feel it would support that much weight.

It depends. The table is strong and can serve basic purposes and its made of light wood but I don't think it can withstand strong weight. But light and moderate weight, yes it can.

It's plenty sturdy for eating on, but I would not use it as my sewing table. The legs aren't very wide apart to help give it stability for a sewing machine...unless it's a rather lightweight portable one.

I wouldn't recommend it unless it's a tiny one. The table isn't very wide (deep) and it's not all that sturdy. It looks great as something to put decorations on to fill an empty space in a room but it's not something you'd want to put a lot of weight on.

My dog is ~50 lbs. and she is quite comfortable on this table. As far as capacity, I used the table to reach something. The table didn't blink at supporting 180 lbs. It's very stable, particularly if you use the leveling pads so it doesn't wobble on an uneven surface.

I believe it is very good and stable table. I weigh 180 and I could probably sit on it if I needed to.

Yes, I would not go above that. In fact I would stay below it. I'm 230 lbs and feel quite secure but I think if I were well over 300 I might get nervous. That said I have owned and used this table for over a year with 0 problems or complaints. I use it personally (every week) as opposed to professionally (every day).

Hi Pamela, I put the table on a scale and it read "30.0" lbs. I use the bend of one set of legs to carry it (like a handle). My wife and I love this table. I dont think I can find a negative comment about it. If it was much lighter it would be unstable. Hope this helps. Jeff
