I guess you get what you pay for.  Bought this for my son who went off to college. The table was cheaply made and I don't mean because it's made or particle board - that was expected for the price. But it's held together weakly. I don't think it could support anything but a cup. Good lord, I hope no one sits or leans on it because it won't hold. And the corner was damaged - too cheap to send it back though. We just used a black sharper to cover the "wood".
