Overall the design is clean and the build is solid. It was assembled within a few hours without too many hiccups, excluding my one complaint with the product which is the quality of camlocks provided. The metal used is pretty soft, and more than once during assembly they would bend out of shape rather than seating nicely in the provided space, damaging both the wood and the lock. It also forced some odd spacing between some of the boards, leading to less structural strength than it might otherwise have. The support bars however are bolted pretty soundly into the pieces, so the topmost surface actually feels very solid, like it can hold up some reasonable weight. Overall Im satisfied with our purchase, but would forewarn other prospective buyers just to be very careful during assembly, and take things slow.
