This is a great little table. Seems fairly sturdy, I would not set very heavy items on it, but books, a laptop, dinner and a beverage, all do very well. I use it next to my couch and like that I can raise it high enough to go over the armrest (barely). It also goes lower to use maybe as a laptop stand. I also like the wheels, it makes it easy to re-adjust or move next to my desk or sewing machine for an extra work space. Great little stand for the price!
