I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. It will work perfectly for my needs! I'm putting an old typewriter on it for visitors to write little notes on as they come and go.

The desk is relatively sturdy. A normal chair doesn't fit completely under the desk unless you don't install the bottom shelf - and, while that shelf is fantastic for storage, you shouldn't plan to use it for anything decorative because you can't really see it with a chair pushed in.
