Desk is ok for a spare room, but not a dedicated work desk.  Maybe I should have gathered that from the price, but figured with the keyboard drawer it would be small but sturdy enough to work on.  Issue I had  is the keyboard drawer was A.) too small and B.) the drawer itself had a lot of play in it so as you typed it would move around.  We have another desk bought at Wayfair and it was in the similar price range ~ $200 and that desk had a drawer that was 6 inches wider.  The issue with the narrow drawer is you cannot get a keyboard and mouse in there at the same time.  You either have to put the mouse behind the keyboard or on top of the desk.  Like I said, as a backup or in a pinch that is fine, but if you are planning on using this everyday for work that requires going back and forth from a keyboard to a mouse this desk is a no go.  It was sturdy, not real heavy but it went together tight.  The top is a laminate but looked like it would stand up to regular use fine.
