For the price we paid the quality is decent.  The option of changing height levels without paying for an electric desk option is great.  The downside is you have to remove items on the desk first before adjusting the height if you are doing it alone- overall no big issue.  Lightweight should you need to move it.  The side shelves are good for stacking books & computer tower. The protective finish on the desk is a little thin, recommend placing a table mat for drinks, etc.  Overall happy with the desk.
