I did not want to invest a lot of money in a temporary "work from home" desk; however, this is definitely a "you get what you pay for" piece of furniture.  Aside from the amount of profanity that went into putting this together (for hours!), my husband kept calling out all the small pieces and parts that were missing.  Also, one of the legs was missing its threading which made it almost impossible to attach to the desk.  I guess the best that I can hope is that it doesn't collapse in my lap when I go to use it.
