The leg brace that came with the desk was cut too short,so it was not usable. The next one that came was thinner in diameter & the holes drilled in the ends were offset & when the screws supplied, which were too short, were inserted the outside finish of the board was split. I went & bought a sturdy piece of turned spindle & cut,stained & sealed it & used it instead. It made the desk more stable, but there is still too much side to side wobble for me. When I get the time I will put additional bracing in the thing. Grand daughter loves it. She is 2&a half. We can put a lot of her things inside to sort of keep them in the vicinity. The fit of the leg assemblies to the desk just need to be better & more sturdy.
