I purchased this after about a week of trying to work from home off of a make-shift desk. My space is limited so I wanted something that was easy to fold up and put away. Pleasantly surprised by the design of this piece. the frame is pretty sturdy and the shelf holds weight. The handles to raise and lower the desk are spring loaded and easy to use, so popping it up and down is simple. It folds pretty flat so perfect for keeping in a closet until you need. It's not a fine piece of furniture you want in pride of place, but I'm a tall guy and it adjusts to a comfortable height for me, and offers a pretty solid workstation for the price.
