After reading the reviews I was iffy on purchasing. I am SO glad I purchased. It can be “flimsy” if TOO much weight. I have a pencil/pen  holder and monitor on top, keyboard in the middle, and a dog bed at the base. I did get place the desk on a corner. Compared to other desks I found online and I store, this desk is by far my favorite. Looks great, works great, and was easy to assemble.
