Love this desk. Very strong, very sturdy. First time I've ever splurged on a really nice desk and it wasn't even that much of a splurge. I'm 5'4" so I love that the keyboard tray is the perfect fit for my short legs. As others have said, the surface is not smooth, but I LOVE that! Great asmr sensation to stroke the grooves when you're thinking. Similarly, the metal of the legs provides a great cooling to your feet should you need it. Couldn't have asked for a better desk. I won't need another for my lifetime.
