How sturdy is this table? I want to purchase this for a condo building common area, and want something that will hold up to people leaning on it.

Hi, Scott. It's a very lightweight table, so unless there is an umbrella with a heavy base in the middle, I think it would easily tip over. However, I think it's pretty durable to wear and tear, despite being light. Does this help?

Very sturdy. We were surprised at the quality of this table for the price. We were looking at tables twice the price, and they were thinner and flimsier. We also ordered four chairs (black metal, but not matching in design) and the chairs were the same quality.

It's pretty sturdy. I think I have 10 or 15 pounds at least on each shelf. I put the heaviest items on the bottom shelf. If you put a lot of weight on the shelves, I think it would be wise to install the wall anchor that came with your unit. I have not anchored mine, but the weight does not seem to cause the unit to be shaky or unbalanced. I think this unit is a good buy, especially at the price.

It's side table so I don't know how much weight you expect it to support. When I bought it I put a 25 pound guitar amplifier on the bottom shelf and an antique radio on top. It was perfectly fine. The pieces are thick and it is very sturdy. It does not look or feel like those flimsy cardboard-like tables you see for the same price. To me, it was money well spent.

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.

For the price I feel it is a good quality table. I would not consider it heavy duty, like what you see in arcades. Two of us can easily move it around our house, but for a home soccer table, I think it is well made. We have had it over a year now, and it is still in very good shape despite being played with by teenagers and very competitive adults!

The table is pretty sturdy and would hold a good sized flat screen TV-no problem...as far as the actual weight it can hold-I have tried anything heavier than a table lamp and plants..

It's a very sturdy piece of furniture. It can hold over 200 lbs. with no problems.

It's very sturdy and able to hold a decent amount of weight. I'm almost 170 lbs and can sit on the top (when shelf is horizontal) with any feeling of wobble or give. You'd want to mount the shelf to a wall if you put anything heavy on top.

It is sturdy. I weigh 130 & have stood on it with no wobble. Will it support someone who weighs 400 lbs? No idea, but certainly it is fine for someone weighing 100-200 lbs.

I'm 275 and they were all very sturdy. I did stand on the table a couple of times to get at the ledge over the dining room, and it seemed much less so. Not that I was about to fall through the top, but even the slightest shaking was noticeable. I bet an exuberant 50lb kid (or dog) leaping on or off this table at an angle would do some damage to the joints. As others have said, though, the seating is quite strong except for the crossbars.

This table is very stable and sturdy. I am very pleased with it. My dogs are smaller. I still think it would hold up well probably up to 50# animal.

It's sturdier then a typical "card table". I wouldn't recommend standing on it... : )

I have had mine about a year. So far it is very sturdy. I use it daily as I have no other table.

It seems very sturdy to me and is easy to assemble. However mine is in a corner where it never is subjected to any sort of stress. I would not expect it to have any problems.

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.

This is a sturdy piece. However, I have used it usuall to prop up my feet, and, to have a place to keep my needlework, etc., when I 'm not working on things. I have had more than one occasion to sit on it, and, I'm no light-weight either....trust me. It seems to have the inner strength to tolerate all the uses to which I have put it. Good luck!

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.
