This desk is HELLA sturdy! It did come with a little chip on the corner, but overall, it doesn't really take away from the entirety of the desk itself. It's a pretty straightforward desk with minimalistic features (but it looks REALLY good in my work space) and for the price, you can't really complain. I also got the bigger sized one. Currently, it holds my office phone (which is bulky), a computer monitor and a 20-30 inch TV (I'm also using it as my TV stand). I love this frickin' desk. Best buy!
