Really lovely desk in many ways. It is sturdy & looks nice but it's important to raise an issue in that there is a design fault in the frame. One of the metal frame ends has been drilled incorrectly that means if you use the holes to bolt that part of the frame together the holes in wooden top for the bolts that secure the top will not correspond on that part of the frame. You can drill new holes or assemble the unit and not bolt that part of the top down. That's what we did and it holds together fine and is sturdy, but that isn't really good enough for a table of this price!
