When I looked at the picture it came across as a little fragile but now I have it assembled it is solid, the work surface is perfect and plenty of it. The only complaint is the 2nd shelf up could of been either adjustable or further up to accommodate the computer. The assembly was simple and everything fitted without any problem, it took me alone about an hour to assemble and that included stopping for a cup of tea. The price might seem a bit high but when you look at similar on the market for a lot more money this is very good value for money and well worth the buy.
