The unit is solid after putting it together and should hold up well as long as moving it around is kept to a minimum. The instructions were a little difficult to follow for some of the detail work (drawer slides) but for the most part it assembled easily.  I got the brown/cherry finished unit and it actually looks better than the picture. For particle board furniture it is a decent little desk.   

Pros: Good value, decent appearance
Cons: instruction are hard to follow in some areas.  They do provide 800# for assistance which of course I did not utilize.
