the desk took a bit to put together and is quite heavy but it is extremely durable. I personally used it for school and upon graduation have passed it on to my roommate while he finishes school. Plenty of room for the laptop, a textbook, and a notebook. The drawers slide well. Overall a great sturdy desk. I would HIGHLY recommend this desk to anyone that is in the market for one. The delivery was very fast, came in the 2 days as promised.
