I purchased this desk as a place for my son to do virtual schooling in his room. It wasn’t my first choice, but as most desk options were sold out I bought the first inexpensive white desk I could find in stock. The directions were a bit hard to follow as there were only diagrams, no explanations, but I was able to assemble it on my own within about 2 hours. It is sturdy enough and I like the drawer and shelf space provided. My son loves it. My only criticism is that the drawer handles are made of a flimsy plastic, but I bought metal handles to replace them that work well.
