Sturdy desk once assembled.  I am not especially "handy" at assembling furniture,  so It took me over 2 hours to assembled by myself. With 2 people it would have taken less time. Drawings are actually detailed enough to assemble it properly uf you look closely at every detail.
Desktop looks like it may be paticle board with a type of contact paper to create wood look. For this price,  that's exactly what I expected,  so no complaints.
