I really enjoy this desk! I think it is pretty heavy for the price. I was expecting something  on the flimsy side but not at all. Putting together did take me longer than the 3 hours other reviewers noted but the wine may of had something to do with that. The instructions seemed intimidating at first but they really are step by step, just have to follow them exactly. I liked how each page said what kind of screws you would need for the step and had a 'to scale' photo of the screw so you can make sure you have the right one. Looks great in my home office! I work from home so this is made my office a lot better!
