It's exactly as advertised and took my husband very little time to put together, it looks very nice & has levelling screws so it sits nicely without rocking. I measured carefully for my requirements so the size is perfect. A minor thing or 2: to use the lift up section you need to move everything from that section off or slide it over (something I hadn't thought through but not such a big deal) & my giant MacBook Pro charge plug is huge & won't allow the top to be lowered completely if I use the charge port (again, no big deal - with such a long I just plug it in elsewhere) - just a couple things to think about if you are buying but it's a very good value & love the storage aspects.
