Is this table stable? If several people sit on one side with nobody sitting on the other side, will it start to flip over?

It is a little tippy. Ours has never actually tipped up more than an inch, but it has that "Ah, I better stand up quick" feeling of teetering. Hope that helped.

The table appears stable it is not likely be disrupted by just bumping into it. However, if your son's "dancing all over the place" includes dancing on this table I would suggest something else.

I haven't tested the weight, but it seems pretty sturdy. I'd guess it could support 90+ lbs. I wouldn't be surprised if one of my teenagers has sat on this table and it's still standing.

We only have a couple of things on this table; perhaps a total weight of 10 lbs. We have it on a carpeted floor and there is absolutely No wobble or sense of it being unstable.

Even with the shipping fee, this looks like a nice table. I am looking for a table and chairs, (I can buy them later) for my 15x15' kitchen, which can seat 4 or 5 people!!I can't afford an expensive set, although this looks very nice!! Will it comfortable seat the people?? I am alone and would hardly use it!!

I have found this to be a solid table, and it has withstood bumps and thumps better than any table I have had. We use it in the kitchen, where it does receive abuse. Be sure to tighten all screws when assembling and check them occasionally to make sure they stay tight. I think the screw construction is part of the reason it is sturdy.

It's stable. Never had a problem at all, and it does look really nice, not cheap looking at all. I found out these are the same ones they have at Hobby Lobby.

I have this picnic table and use it for my summer camp. it will not turn over. It is very study.

We have never had a problem with any weight causing it to tilt. We have had large groups with as many as 14 people around the table and this has carried ALL the food nicely. Everyone loves it. I think some were even going to order one after seeing ours. Of course you need to counter heavy weight with some balance opposing, but the idea is to enable everyone to spin the item they want to within reach. I recommend it highly. This is the largest one we could find, and we love it.

This table is not as sturdy as I would have liked; however, I did not purchase it for outdoor purposes (it serves as overflow seating in my classroom). If you have no wind break, then I believe a wind gust may send this table flying.

No. I do not believe it would be stable at all; it is a major structural element. It is about 5" above the floor with the front edge about 7" back from the front of the table in case you needed specifics about the placement.

No, this is quite a heavy duty table. We have had one year, sat outside in a rough winter and endures strong wind...people often sit on just one side. ...but then, I don't know how much you weigh...

When the leaf is up, it's sturdy and will not collapse under the weight of your elbow. The table is small and rather lightweight - which makes sense because it it small. I would not put a LOT of weight on one leaf. The table might tip if you put excessive weight on one side, but it won't tip over under normal use.

Although the table probably isn't rated to hold that much, I have stood and sat on this table without any stability issues. I weigh 110 pounds.

its fairly stable. we use it to play games and have drinks and haven't spilled yet. i guess you couldn't lean on it but its stable.

I'm about 180 lbs and can sit on this easily. It seems very sturdy, and I wouldn't have thought twice about having 2 or even 3 people sitting on it. Though now that you ask about weight limits I suppose I might be a little more cautious when that 3rd person sat down, depending on how much everyone weighed.

The table top is not the best built. Ours has become a little loose. I wouldn't recommend putting something super heavy on.
