Is it sturdy enough to lean elbows on while doing a jigsaw puzzle? The person who will use it is an invalid. Thanks Lois

Definitely....it is very sturdy. I have put a sewing machine on it & done sewing. We are very pleased with this table!

yes - i think so - i use it as a cutting table for fabric ( with rotary cutter and self healing mat) and it is stable enough for that.

It's my Guess that it WILL stand up. It's very solid. Of course have another there to do a test weight load.

Yes, it is very sturdy & feels like it will last. Putting it together does take a power tool or a good bit of strength.

Yes. But it is not as wheel-chair friendly as a card table with the legs on the corners. We have used our drop-leaf table for several years in our Fifth-Wheel RV Camper. It still looks good and still works well.

The table is sturdy. Just make sure the swing legs are in the correct position so the table panels are correctly supported.

I beliEve so. I sent it to my elderly mother to use as a dinner table in her room. She says it's nice and solid.

Our table is on a carpeted floor and it will tip if the edge of the of the lift-up part is leaned on. Hope this helps. Dont know, if the table is on a hard surface.

Yes it is very sturdy however I'd put a small block under it in the middle so it dosent sag with the weight since there is no middle support just in case!! I never want to say oh man I should of....! Hope this helps!!

I don't think it would hold up under workbench activity. It's about 1/4 inch thick but has a spongy layer between the surfaces. so it feels a little soft rather than tough. I think I recall a reviewer saying it got caught on something and ripped--which seems possible to me. There are indentations where the treadmill sits on it and squishes it down. One surface is crinkly and one is smooth. I'm not sure which is really supposed to be the top surface, but I feel like I might be able to force my fingernail through either one. (Could be wrong, but I don't want to try it!)

Yes, more that sturdy enough. My partner pushes down quite hard to cut her quilt material with no problem.

It is pretty solid keeping in mind it is really meant to hang on the wall. My son is repainting the handle and it looks better now. Bottom line is I don't think you will break it.

I have not used it lying down and would not want to try it. My guess would be that the articulations could not function with body weight over it - at least for very long. IT IS WELL MADE. I bought it for my mom 2 or 3 years ago and it gets used every night by at least her and one other person in the family. It was a very appreciated gift.

we cut 200 lb cheese wheels on the one we bought. I bought another one a few years back for the same reason and it is holding up just fine. very sturdy and no cracks years later. I would suggest more than corner legs as it is a laminated piece. seems like it would need more bracing. both I bought sit on cabinets. basic cabinet support construction.

It's pretty solid. The legs go "out" as opposed to straight down. This must help with stability. I've used it with power tools and haven't had any problems. As it gets older with more use it may wiggle a bit but so far so good.

I wouldn't recommend it. The bottom collapses too easily and I end up juggling it a lot as its not sturdy enough. Spen your money elsewhere ! :)

Great! It is very sturdy BUT you need to have good control of your body and equilibrium. As long as both hands are grabbing the handles with the same weight you are good, otherwise it gets out of place...

I have it and I think it is fine. It is hard to put together--you really need to balance the skins when you tighten. But all in all it is a great deal! I would doubt it would travel well--but for at home practice it is great! You will want to mute the kick--it is a bit hollow.

Yes; it may seem a bit shaky during assembly, but once everything is tightened it's pretty rigid. It can be picked up one-handed and will stay in shape, there was no noticeable movement loading it up, and it's stayed solid for several months now. You'd really have to go beyond its intended use to see it become shaky.

Laurie, I haven't used it for that purpose, yet, but I think it would be good. Maybe not ideal because it is only 24 inches wide. I have found that if I make sure the legs are locked, it is very sturdy and not at all wobbly. I would like the highest setting for cutting out patterns.

The instructions say to put the bolts on "finger tight." This did not work for me, either. I would suggest just engaging the threads of the bolts with the nuts until all the bolts are in place. Mine still needed bonking with a wooden mallet I happened to have. Aggravating, but it's quite sturdy now.

When the leaf is up, it's sturdy and will not collapse under the weight of your elbow. The table is small and rather lightweight - which makes sense because it it small. I would not put a LOT of weight on one leaf. The table might tip if you put excessive weight on one side, but it won't tip over under normal use.

There is a bit io elbow room. I have written on it but it is awkward if it is tilted and can be top heavy.

It is a bit wobbly but we have it in a corner. we really like the piece as long as it isnt somewhere where it would get bumped easily then it should work fine. hope this helps.
