This desk didn't quite live up to my expectations. The frame is fairly solid, but I fully expected the desk top material to have some type of melamine finish.  Instead, the top appears to be MDF wrapped in something that resembles contact paper, but with a simulated raised woodgrain texture.  Similarly to a couple of other reviews, the seam between the two desk tops does not line up exactly which results in the surface not being completely flush - it's slightly higher towards the back due to the metal frame being higher at that point.  Also, there were a couple of pre-drilled holes that were off about 1/8 - 1/4 inch.  I don't think I would purchase this desk again given the price that I paid.
