The desk is flimsy at best.  The previous reviews were correct when they suggested the top does not open very well.  There is absolutely nothing to support the desk top when it is in the down position.  There is no way you could put a computer on top of it or even put pressure on it in order to write.  We're using it as a simple beside table instead, and it works well for that purpose but it definitely does not work as a desk.  The entire assembly project was easy, but the desk is poorly designed and cheaply made.
