This glass is very thick, and it works great to support my monitor; there is no doubt it can hold much more than the stated weight. Also, with two small children in the house, I feel much more comfortable knowing that it is tempered glass; the other similar products out there don't specify that, and it is an important safety feature. The height works great for me to put my Dell laptop, in its docking station, below the monitor, as I wanted. I have the legs at their lowest setting, and I think they look a bit...spindly if you raise them up, so in my ideal world I would be able to buy just additional riser legs to double the height, but that is a very small gripe for what is otherwise a very sturdy product.
