This piece fit my needs perfectly (just needed a small, rectangular shelf for under my desk). However, if you're looking for something super sturdy, this probably isn't your guy. Very light and pretty flimsy (part of the construction includes adhesive tape). But it was very easy to assemble and, like I said, for my purposes, it's exactly what I wanted. Looks great, fits in the space nicely, and holds office supplies and papers--check, check, check.
