I really love this desk, so I went ahead and gave 4 stars instead of three. However, there were several issues. For one, the instructions aren't completely correct. So, the backs on the bottom part of the desk were never put in on mine. It's mentioned in the inventory and then never again. I assumed they had to be nailed on, but there's a slot for them. Also, neither of my drawers work. They catch and I can't even get the 2nd one open. It seems pretty sturdy and I love the look and color. It's exactly the size for what I need, but it has some flaws.
