The desk looks nice and is sturdy. It was easy to put together. My complaint is how narrow the depth is. It's just big enough for your laptop. There isn't a lot of space to spread out and work on. I didn't think it's depth would be a problem, but now that I'm trying to work on it, I'm realizing it is. If you have to have to have books, papers, laptopcs, agendas all out at once while you work, this might not be the desk for you.
