This desk is all metal except for the top. It is very sturdy. The electronic legs go up pretty high. The 1 thing I am not such a fan of is the location of the plug-ins. They are on the back right corner. The desk has to be away from the wall to be able to use these with standard plugs. The feet also stick out past the table top creating an off the wall use. These are not deal breakers for me just information I would have liked to have prior to my purchase.
