I purchased this desk because I liked the look of it and the positive reviews. This desk is mainly made of very thin, particle board. The top of the desk is heavy, and does give an appearance of being a sturdy product. I am giving it 3 stars because overall, I am happy with the look of the desk. It was pretty easy to put together with the instructions and the parts being labeled. It did take me about 3 hours and it does need to be assembled in the room that the desk will be used because the base of the desk seemed fragile and bendable.  I would prefer to have spent more money, and have a higher quality desk so if that is what you want for your office then I would not purchase this one.
