This glass desk is very sturdy and stylish for a small room. My office is small and so I wanted a desk that didn't look bulky. I also wanted contemporary style. This desk fit the bill for everything I wanted and more! The simple design is still so elegant. It is over 100 pounds in weight and I never fear that it isn't sturdy enough. It is padded very well when shipped and also encased in a wood crate to keep it safe
