This seems to be pretty sturdy - it was a little awkward to put together. Glad my husband and I did the first half together. Unfortunately Im going to give this 3 stars, as the holes to attach the top shelf were drilled into the side of the metal, not the top (screws insert from the bottom of the metal, and go through the bottom of the shelf which sits on top). Sorry, I cant make straight screws turn 90 degrees. For now it sits on top and hopefully with everything else tightened up it shouldnt slip off. My husband will eventually drill holes through the square metal tubing so we can fix it. One other issue - Im not a fan of the placement of the outlet up high (though you can adjust right or left side). I thought we would put our air fryer and coffee maker on it, but both of them have very short cords and so we cant have both plugged in at once (we have a wide air fryer, sized like a toaster oven).
