This thing is a beast. It's sturdy and reliable and definitely has held up to the test of time. Only pet peeve: the top has a fake woodgrain pattern on it, meaning you cannot write on it! It's ok for our family desk where we keep our important files and whatnot, but I'm a nurse who works from home and definitely needed a smooth desk surface to write on so I have an entirely different desk in my office and this desk is actually in our bedroom and my husband uses it to organize our family business. Other than that one seriously idiotic glitch, it's a fine desk.
