I just received this desk, so I can't review as to durability. However, it seems to be a really solid desk with all that steel and bolts. The weakest component are the drawers which are composite wood and a bit flimsy. Putting it together was fairly simple, but it is important to not tighten completely the bolts until the end since there was a tiny bit of play in the alignment which in this case is a good thing. All in all, it is a very pretty desk and matches my glossy white and chrome style. I would suggest anyone have a plastic or glass cut to protect the top surface. I am, so far, completely satisfied in my purchase and price point.
