it's really sturdy, I can get pretty violent with the wheel when I'm drifting for example, and it doesn't budge much, also it has room just barely to fit a 21 inch widescreen like the one I got in the pics there.....
And coming from race seat framed setups custom built to this, I've never really had a problem or had an urge to go back to the seat/frame setups so it's your next best solution and it works pretty well.... I'm 6'1 and 190 lbs and I can play like this for a few hours without any comfort issues.... I have a $300 ergonomic office chair though, so you need a comfy seat offcourse, but as far as positioning of the steering wheel and petals, it's perfect

here's a quick picture



ZOMG, i have the same table. I got it from IKEA
