This is a very sturdy desk composed of durable materials. The top is a lightweight, non-flimsy composite wood, while the legs are metal. All the hardware comes very clearly labeled. The instructions are straightforward. This can easily be assembled by one person. A few pieces of advice

- Assemble on a thick, padded surface to avoid denting or scratching your floors with the metal legs and bars
- Use a power drill to screw the Philips-head screws they are tough to screw by hand 
- Use a flashlight for the final step when you are attaching the base to the tabletop it is difficult to align the bolts with the holes in the table top without that￼

I’m not sure why this is labeled as a reversible desk because of the foot bar at the bottom, you can really only use this in one direction. But overall solid piece.￼
