I really love these tables! The design on the top is beautiful and makes them appear to be expensive! These work perfectly to slip over the top of our couch arm making it very convenient to sit a drink, plate or laptop when relaxing on the couch. They are lightweight and sturdy and can easily be moved to use as a stand alone piece as well. I’m not sure how much weight can be placed on them but at one time I have had my laptop and a drink and the table seemed to be able to hold much more weight if needed. I would def recommend and purchase again in the future.
