Has anyone used it on a pool table as a dining top? Did it support serving dishes full of food? Any cons/pros as being used as a dining table top?

I do not know about the Prince Table Tennis Conversion Top. The one I have is very heavy, so I think there is no problem for putting dishes full of food on it. But I did not use it as a dining top.

hi, this thing is really cute and tiny. i have a wooden table out back by the pool area where i used it so did have it on a plate to catch anything that popped out but it is stable enough to sit on its own. good luck.

Difficult to say- i would def not put more than 50 lbs on this table. I am only using it as a decorative piece, which I think this table is best served. Hope this helps!

I do not think so. It looks more like a cart when it is put together. I gave this as a gift to someone and while it looks nice I would not use it as a dining table.

not really made to use it as a table. I mean it has flat surface but no design for that use at all. so I would say just storage.

It probably wouldn't work particularly well as a dining table, because there are hinges on each side and the table might buckle somewhat under pressure. You really can't sit on it, for instance. Still, it could work if you were careful. You could put a piece of plywood underneath to give more support.

MattWe wanted a dining patio table rather than a sit around table so I've just made it a table top feature by running the gas line under my new patio and up thru the umbrella hole in the table. We love it, but it sounds like you're looking for a drop in type of table.George

I was asking the exact same question.........I want to buy a low table to set two different size bowls on for dogs; a larger bowl for water, and a smaller bowl for food. I cannot find an elevated feeder that accommodates different sized bowls.......so this seemed like a possible solution: just buy a low table, and set out whatever size bowls you want. Did it work for you? Was it sturdy enough with legs extended to keep from wobbling?

I use it as a card table. Just ran my fingers across it. Is not as smooth as say a glass or wooden table top. If you put a table cloth or place mat on it, that would work. It is such a high quality table. I just love it. Hope that helps.

yeah...I'd be a little hesitant to put drinks on it since it doesn't have an edge, but it would work fine for food. I've used mine for that in the past!

I use this as a food tray nearly everyday. As long as it's kept level it's not a problem. I have an end table that I put my coffee or water on but for a plate or bowl it's fine.

No, it's not really big enough to hold dinner plates for serving. I agree with others - a couple of dessert plates. It's better for putting small food items on for people to take from.

The table is excellent for eating on, as that's probably what it was designed for (I've been using it mainly for working on my laptop). As to how much weight it supports, I have no way of measuring that. The table is attached to the post by a large flat metal support that extends almost half the length of the underside of the table. The weakest point must be where 6 screws attach this piece of metal to the table, which is probably made of some kind of pressboard. I suppose if someone sat on it, the table would eventually separate from the metal support. But barring flagrant abuse, I don't expect that the table will fail during my lifetime.

I feel this is mostly used for back support while you are sitting on bleachers. I think it may move around if you used it as a table

I have used the top as a work surface. It is actually holding up really, really well. We have left wet wine glasses on it, served buffet of food on it, and it looks brand new. We are very pleased.

The top is very sturdy. We eat dinner on it a lot and it holds 3 heavy plates plus other bowls and platters of food. I wouldn't sit on it or anything but I think it is very stable.

I wouldn't use it for that. It is too low and not firm enough for preparing food. Also, it is carved, so you would need to add a glass on top of it, for example, and that's not very practical in my opinion. This is a nice decorative side table. You can use it for serving food but not for prep. I hope this helps.
