This desk is good quality for the price. The base is a good solid metal. The top is nice as well. I purchased the rustic light wood look. The only thing I did not like was that when it is at the lowest setting because there are drawers built in I was not able to have my keyboard at the right height. You would have to have a keyboard tray for proper ergonomics. Having said that I am very happy with my desk as I work standing up most of the time anyway. Lastly, the desk could use some clips or way to secure chords at the back.
