Can we rest our feet on this coffee table w/o worry? I'm concerned that if it is not real wood, table won't hold up.

yes it is real and you will be able to tell by the weight it is very sturdy real iron real wood and it is beautiful so you may not allow feet on it once you see it and the iron center gives you a place to place a glass without a coaster

Unless you plan to tap dance on it with steel-healed stilettos, I think you're safe. This table stood up to things being dropped on it, a TV that fell on it (long story) and just about any and all abuse that my household could possibly throw at it. Yes, it does have a few scuff marks, but they are barely noticeable and it has withstood all this for the past 8 or 9 months. I would not trade this table or the matching end tables for anything I have seen. They are tough and durable. In a pinch it also serves as extra seating, although it isn't very comfortable for that. Go for it...I do not think you'll be disappointed. Unless you plan to tap dance on it with steel-healed stilettos, I think you're safe.

It is a very sturdy table. We have our feet on ours all the time. My only complaint is the wood laminate is very heat sensitive, and will discolor if you put anything warm on it for even a second. But it is a heavy, sturdy table.

I would say so, its actually quite sturdy. We eat and drink on it sometimes so we don't put our feet on it but I would otherwise. Also, its okay to put drinks down without a coaster, no ring.

I don't think it's real wood. Look at the price. You don't get a real wood table for this cheap.

I think you should be able to. I do not have any reclining furniture so I cannot try that out for you. However, I have a feeling this table is probably better utilized on a sturdy or flat surface.

From my experience and we've had the table about 5 months, I would say no. However, it could happen, if the writing on top is hard and deep enough to be embedded into the wood grain. The table and chairs are sturdy and of good quality.

Yes. Not real wood but looks good. Keep in mind this is a tiny table and I actually now use it as a desk because it was so small. Chairs are horrible to put together.

Not recommended. This furniture isn't rock solid build, wobble a lot, and only support light object on it. But you can give a try, very careful, of course.

Uuummm I wouldnt feel safe saying yes...probably too heavy...Love the table though...have it in my entryway

Actually, my table is on a covered patio, so I don't know how well it would hold up in the open. Sorry.

Absolutely not. It looks beautiful. I have the entire set, the lift top coffee table, 3 side tables, the taller cabinet and the sideboard. Our living room is done in a rustic look, and although these are inexpensive and not real wood, they look beautiful and are sturdy and well made. For the price.... you can not go wrong......D HALL

Im not sure if you can, my set came without legs for coffee table and took a long time to resolve this problem. The furniture comes from China,so my guess is no. Good luck.

I would not recommend using this ottoman for seating. It's basically a coffee table with storage.

This table is made from very hard wood, and is surprisingly heavy and sturdy. One elbow on the table when you're drinking coffee will not be a problem. I've never put both elbows on it and leaned forward with all my body weight, so I don't know about that. One thing I will add - because the wood is so hard, you have to be sure you use the proper type of stain. Take one of the legs to your local paint store and have them advise you. Otherwise, you risk making a mess.

If the weight is evenly distributed and not top heavy, it would probably be ok. The table is relatively stable and balanced. I don't think that weight would cause it to collapse.

yes you definitely can. I bought an "X" shaped stand and I notice a lot of rocking with those. im sure a sturdy table at the right height would be just fine.

I don't think so, the wood is extremely sturdy, very nice furniture!! I love it!

The table is very well made and solid. It is on casters that may not be able to support the weight if used as seating. Perhaps you could remove the casters or swap them out for something more substantial.

It's as long as an average size coffee table, so it would work well as a foot rest, in my opinion. It's quite spacious on the inside and is sturdy. I love mine and am thinking of getting a second one to use as a coffee table. For the price, it can't be beat. It is a beautiful piece of furniture.
