I bought this because I wanted to have a sturdy, easy to clean table to place some messy appliance on.  I have a shave ice machine with syrup bottles on one side.  You know how messy that gets.  Just a wipe of a towel cleans everything up.  The other side I have food a 14 tray food dehydrator.  That's a mess as well.  The table has no problems with the weight.  Overall, love it.  Only one wish, at this price, another bottom tray would seem fair.
