Much sturdier than I imagined, honestly, and it looks great.  I ordered it for functionality, and in that respect, it's exactly what I needed...gives me the flexibility to stand or sit and move around my apartment when I work from home.  And it folks away which is essential in this small space.  It has to be on a fairly tall setting when you fold it, which I wasn't expecting, and also, I second the desire for something that holds it together when it's folded up.  But the practicality is really great.
