I really like this desk, and while there were some issues with it, it is sturdy, lightweight and suites my needs.

Unfortunately, I did have an issue with some of the holes in the top shelf not lining up properly, but as it was one of the center braces that didn't line up, it's still perfectly sturdy.

For those trying to put it together, I highly recommend putting the two end pieces together, then attaching them to the desk top, THEN putting the crossed bars on. attach the drawer while it's still upside down. For the top, I suggest putting the braces on the top shelf, screwing in the middle shelf, but leaving the screws loose until after you attach it to the desk. Following the directions in order makes some parts of assembly a little more difficult than they actually need to be.

Overall an excellent desk and one that I am happy that I purchased.
