The 1st one I bought was badly damaged in shipping. The manufacture  had a missing keyboard slide and some defects. I'm glad I decided to repurchase this after getting a full refund. Easy assembly and really wanted this for the contemporary look. This desk is actually very sturdy and I really needed the bottom shelf to hold my heavy PC. The bottom shelf holds the weight of my PC but I will have to put some extra support under to prevent the shelf from buckling.
