I love that it is solid wood, not MDF or particle board! It's very sturdy and just the right size for my home office! Assembly wasn't too difficult but where it said to use a particular screw WITH an included washer, wasn't happening on my particular unit so I had to leave the washers off in order for the screws to take hold. Not a huge issue, but frustrating when just trying to get it put together and put it to use! Overall, very satisfied!
