is the table stable and doesn't shake or make squeaky noises. I want to use it for my laptops and books and want it to be firm and stable enough

Though I can't address all possible locations and conditions where you might set the table up, my husband has his computer on one and his fishing fly tying on another (both on top of carpeting). Any wiggling or squeaking of significance would annoy him. I use one for sewing and it sometimes moves from the vibration of the machine; I haven't noticed any sound during use and I set up on a hardwood floor. AND! if you only look for the wiggling and squeaking, you'll find it.

This table is very sturdy... for a folding table. You might want something meant to be more stationary, try IKEA.

I own several tables from this same company,including a 6' version,and this one table is the sturdiest of them all.I use this table to put my Amateur Radio equipment on,including an amplifier,transceiver,power supply,laptop,and logbooks.The total cost of my equipment is close to $5,000,so it had to be extremely stable and it is that and more.Feel confident in buying this table.It will more than serve it's intended purpose for your needs.

This is more stable than the computer desks you purchase that you put together. It is heavy duty and the top is more rigid than the other tables sold like this . With the feed that extend out to the side, makes it more stable. My wife uses it for a sewing machine table and makes large quilts on it. Most 4 foot tables now come with the top that folds. This one is solid and heavy.

This table is very sturdy, it is a very good quality and not flimsy at all. I think you will be pleased.

The table does sway a little back and forth length-wise but only when you have 150lbs+ on it. I have no problem worrying about my things falling from the two I own. If you need to place a laptop and some textbooks on these tables it will be fine!

I've had 2 of these tables for over 6 months, and just love them. I use them on a regular basis for sewing and crafting with the kids. I've not noticed any shakiness or noise. I think they would be fine for a laptop or a study table.

I use my table in an art studio so do not use it for typing, but I think it would wobble a bit. When opened, it is a little unstable.

The top is solid and really heavy so it doesn't give off much noise. I don't think you'll have a problem. The legs are ridiculous so be prepared to secure them to the table with something in conjunction with the so called "clip" system it provides or your table will not be sturdy. With my tweaks I can say I love my table.

Is it on a level surface? Can you double check that it has been put together per the instructions? My only other thought would be, to check to see if any of the pieces or parts are damaged. Mine is very stable, and not at all wobbly or shaky. In fact, I have had no issues with it since I bought it more than a year ago. I couldn't be happier.

Yes, it is very stable, even with leaf out. I love this table! So easy to pull out leaf and put back in!

It's not shaky. It does not really look like wood though. I think it's decent. I am glad that I got it.

My son and daughter-in-law sleep on it when they visit so I usually keep it flat. When I have put it into a "couch" position, I have not noticed it squeaking at all but it does not get everyday use. It is quite sturdy I feel. Hope this helps.

No, our machine doesn't do that shaking and Squeaking. Your machine must have something loose in it. Write the seller and ask them the same question.

It is very sturdy. Our professors love it. They put laptops/books etc on it.

It is very stable, but I don't recommend you put a monitor on it.i just put my laptop and papers on it.

There is a little bit of wiggle, but id say its plenty stable. I use it for my main computer desktop, i spend 90% of my time at home at this desk and i'd definitely recommend it.

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.

Yes it is stable though it might get a bit scratched up. My problem is I can't close (fold down) one side so storage and to some extent, carrying, is awkward. One disadvantage of buying online: how to get it fixed.

Yes, it's a great desk for a laptop or even a desktop. Very sturdy too. I set up my compound miter saw on it and it does very well, no shaking even when sawing 2x8's! I have no problem sitting at it, although you don't have the room you'd have with a desk, it's still a good desk as your legs do/can easily fit under it.

Probably from someone falling asleep. This table is not very stable, however, and the higher it is raised, the more tippy it becomes. I don't really like it - it's quite fussy - and got a replacement at the Mac Store made by MacAlly. It is bamboo, and admittedly less versatile, but its simplicity works for me, and it has a fan built in which my old Mac appreciates a lot. I never touch the metal table anymore.

My table was stable and didn't wiggle at all. It appeared to be very sturdy but I had to return it because it was too large for my space, so I can't speak to how it holds up over time.

It seems pretty sturdy. We haven't had any problems with it at all. The longer we have had it, the better I like it. We have had stacks of books ad a laptop on it and have not had any problems.
