It's thin and dainty like the photo. Not sure what the weight limit is, but we got this as a purely decorative piece (minimal function outside of holding a fake plant and maybe someone's beverage while they sit in the chairs next to it). I like that the design is industrial without feeling heavy. Assembly was a breeze. Legs and hardware are metal and the top is some kind of textured wrap over particle board. Probably not super durable, but should be ok for our purposes.
