Is this glass or acrylic glass? How many lbs can it hold? I would like to use something like this daily as a floor desk for my laptop and speakers.

It is glass. Very sturdy. We have it in a commercial setting and kids sit on it, people put feet up on it. It is very sturdy and well made.

The glass is sturdy. Be certain to pack it up with good padding as you would with any fragile, glass item. Also, be sure to dismantle base from screen. It would certainly break away if you omit this step.

27.5" exactly. sorry it took so long to answer. I love this desk. the only addition I would say to this is that if you are erasing something on a project, remove items from the top of the shelf because they tend to move forward and fall off. I put a protective drawing board layer on the top of the glass. You can find them on here on amazon pretty reasonably, just to protect the surface, but the shelf doesn't hold very heavy stuff very well. Overall, though, I still LOVE this purchase, the drawer isn't too big but its perfect for pencils, pens, erasers, etc. . . and I love the cork board and magnetic backboard, makes referencing stuff much easier. hope this helps! good luck! 27.5" exactly. sorry it took so long to answer.

Its really sturdy. I dont keep anything crazy on it, but i am a messy mid twenty year old man, and it can handle my various gaming consoles, my laptop, lamp, and other electronics. I even stood on it once to put up a poster. As long as you keep it in good shape it should be fine. It is particle board though, so you wanna keep it in a dry environment to keep it structurally sound. And make sure you clean up any spilled liquids (i have a small bubble from the condensation on a glass; now I use a coaster)

Strictly guessing, but I would say liability, reduced warranty claims (most items are overbuild 75-150%) and weight distribution. The heavier speakers will likely have the load points out toward the edges for balance purposes, but the edges/corners of these stands are unsupported tempered glass. The only support to the glass is in the center where the 2 columns meet the glass. They're likely worried about the glass breaking and your speakers getting damaged from too much weight away from the support points (columns). I have my JBL Studio L820s on these. Those speakers weigh in at 19lbs and are used as my surrounds. They don't wobble or seem to stress the stands at all. It's also worth noting, that these are designed for bookshelf speakers, if you put anything very tall on them, that could cause them become too top heavy and be prone to tipping.

I assumed they were acrylic but I see others say they're glass. They're solid enough to not feel flimsy/breakable which is why I assumed... Regardless, I continue to love it every time I see it. :-)

I'm not at home right now so I can't actually weigh it. It is EXTREMELY substantial. I am not using it for heavy stuff, but I would have no problem putting something heavy (weight distributed) on it. The glass is thick and heavy. (I use it on an audiophile shelf to get a little extra room for DACs and phono-pre-amps which seem to be multiplying for me) 9 lbs doesn't sound crazy at all to me.

Im not sure but my glass table weighs like 50lbs. and it was still stuck on it i wouldn't hold it for very long but it was just a test

It is not acrylic it is a step below according to the lifetime website. It is a poly-carbonate, Makrolon, stronger then acrylic but not as good of a bounce off the back board. Acrylic is closer to tempered glass.

I do not know the weight of the glass, have no way to weigh it. I know two women can lift it with no problem and I weigh 95 lbs. Two men will have no problem, probably one can lift it, but easier with two if you are turning it over. I do not find it brittle at all. We use it every day with no problems.

it is eliptical, but at it's widest, it is 33" by 15", and can probably hold about 30 to 45 pounds rather safely, they are tempered glass, and I have put a lot of things on them, with no issues

Nothing. It's glass with a metal or grey frame. This is pretty good quality. I liked it so much I bought three and now have a big high quality desk.

Hello June - My husband and I can move the glass table pretty easily, so I don't think that that will be a problem for you. I do no know the exact weight however. I would not consider it brittle. But our last glass tabletop cracked due to a heated crock pot sitting on it for several hours - so I always put pot holders under anything very hot now... Hope that helps

The glass is 1/4 inch (6mm), so use it for my 2 laptops. Side slot can hold a big textbook.

This desk is very sturdy, but not very big. I only use it as a work surface for one on one skill testing with my students in the classroom. I think it can handle the weight of your monitor.

The desk is very sturdy and the glass seems to be thick enough to withstand the weight. I personally wouldn't hesitate putting 3 monitors on it.

I have since gotten rid of it because the quality of this desk is junk. Its particle board and plastic. It wobbles and it broke right out of the box. Its not very big so if you are looking for something small its that. I would spend a little bit more and get something of a little better quality. I almost broke my laptop a few times due to the wobbling it does and hitting the wall. Sorry I couldn't answer the specifics.
