The desk seems very sturdy and looks really nice (as the pictures show), especially for the price. The numbered pieces were very helpful. Only drawbacks are that I had major shipping issues with FedEx taking weeks to deliver to me (first loosing the first shipment). Also, some of the welded pieces don’t fit perfectly at first, so I used a hammer to force them together...that worked great! Also, the Allen wrench given with the pieces is not sufficient to get the bolts 100 tightened. So I suggest and Allen wrench that’s longer so you have better leverage.
