How does the table stay up? How much weight can it support?

It has a piece of wood that swings over to support the table. It's pretty sturdy, and would support a light lamp if necessary. We use it for coffee cups and wine glasses next to a recliner in our motorhome.

It has legs. It stands up wll and is pretty solid. I probably have 20 magazines in it right now. The table part is a little sketchy. There is a piece of wood that you turn to prop that part up. Don't know if I'd set anything heavy on that part.

There is a vertical panel in the back - you will see the hindges. Bring that panel forward - it may be kind of difficult ( I had kind of a hard tIme moving it), but the panel does move. Just bring it to the center - to support the table portion of the rack. In terms of weight, it is very sturdy. I have a couple of books, pencil holder, wine glass and bottle (smile) on mine, to add to the enjoyment of my reading/ writing.

I'm guessing the weight of the magazines counterbalances the weight of what's on the table ;-)

It stands on its legs. I don't know how much weight officially but I would imagine 40 lbs

I think this table could hold about 50 lbs or so with no problem. I wouldn't put too much more than that on it though.

I would definitely say more. My husband says it could probably hold up to 30 - 40lbs. without teetering/wobbling. It's a very sturdy table! It might slide around on hardwood/tiled/linoleum floors, but I use mine on carpet, and it doesn't budge. :) I hope that helps!

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

We try not to put pressure or weight on the leaves/pullouts that is not a set amount of weight. For instance, we don't lean on it but it can certainly handle the weight from a sack of potatoes or a dish. It holds but the pullout supports are vwy small, will definitely not tip over. We saw someone else who modified the table to have support for each leaf going all the way to the floor, this would certainly solve any problem with support worries.

I find mine to be very sturdy. No wobble at all. Set up and take down are a breeze. Awesome table for the price.

The table i have is at least 15lbs - the leg supports it no problem. I paired this leg with an 30" aluminum wall table support and the table is very secure with no wobble.

The table does sway a little back and forth length-wise but only when you have 150lbs+ on it. I have no problem worrying about my things falling from the two I own. If you need to place a laptop and some textbooks on these tables it will be fine!

Maybe around 15 lbs. Not very heavy but table is very sturdy. I have oothers that are made from the same material going on 10 years now and they still look brand new.

The table is quite sturdy. I wouldn't keep my weight set on it, but it will definitely handle books, CDs magazines and anything else you would put into a normal end table. I do move mine around quite often, so you will have the tighten the screws every once in a while.

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.

The legs swing out and will hit an ultimate maximum angle they will extend to (about 120~150 degrees). The legs are metal, and the surface is a hard wood (or simulated wood, I am not sure specifically what materials). With the table on a hard surface like a table or something, the legs will extend to their maximum angles and stop. From that point, yes it should be very stable (mine doesn't really wobble). I don't think it is meant for use on a hard surface, though, so here are no pads or anything to prevent scratching a table finish, etc.

weight on the table distributed correctly I think it can hold 10-15lbs being a variety of food items and cups. downfall of table is screws on legs tend to be a little short which makes legs hard to tightly secure into table making it as stable as it could be. I went to lowes and bought connector screws which makes table a little taller and secure.

The table is very stable. My little one went through the pull-up stage rather quickly, but never had a problem.

This table is solid and very sturdy. I'm not sure about the weight limit, but it can handle all the normal uses such as meals, PC, printer and homework. I actually cut the table in half and mounted it to my wall for an entry table and small laptop desk. I added glass to the top. It's a nice looking piece of furniture. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't call it flimsy. I think it can hold a lot of weight on top of the table. It's just that it shifts a bit (can wobble a little side to side) because of its leg assembly.I like the table for camping.

The table was purchased for a friend of mine. I don't see it daily but do know she uses it to hold her cable and blue ray boxes as we'll as several photos in metal frames. I would think the table could hold well over the four pounds you are planning to use it for. I know my friend is extremely pleased with how the table looks and functions. I hope the above was helpful.
