THIS IS LITERALLY CARDBOARD. It is laminated pressed cardboard. Not sure where I missed that in the description, but... Just know it is cardboard held together with  slottab and double-stick tape reinforced. 
Tgat said - it is good-looking, holds my large OfficeJet printer perfectly, and weighs less than a magazine - but to be honest, is a pretty solid piece. I have had to drag it around the room with the printer on top to paint the baseboards, and completely forgot it was laminated cardboard. 
If you have no intent to use it as a stepstool - and you dont mind knowing it is cardboard - no one else has to know and it makes it an afforded option for shelving!
