Overall the desk is a perfect size for my space and seems sturdy.  Instructions were written by someone who doesn't speak English so terminology wasn't consistent and somewhat hard to track, but I put it together in about 30 minutes.  the real problem is that I purchased the desk as a computer desk for my laptop as shown in the pictures.  My computer isn't brand new, but it's not over 2 years old and doesn't get really hot, but somehow, it melted the top of the desk which is laminate and it bubbled.  No fixing that.  Disappointed because otherwise the desk was sort of perfect for my use and space.  Have to return this one...
