The desk feels sturdy (gross wight is 82 pounds and net weight is around 75 pounds) but the assembly instructions are lacking. If not paying attention to little details, you may be backtracking to correct it. The biggest example are the horizontal bars for the largest desktop surface - one hole is larger than the others and needs to be on top for the bolt to go inside the bar. I hadn't noticed until it was time to add the desktop surface. The surface area for the drawer enclosure is plenty of space for my needs, but the drawer is loose beneath it which I'm not fond of. The drawer itself has wheels on the bottom and the included screwdriver isn't long enough to screw the screws in straight, but they hold so far. I had a damaged piece on the edge of a shelf, fortunately it was the lower one so it isn't noticeable. I also was unable to bolt one of the center pieces because the metal prefilled holes didn't line up with the metal frame holes. With the wooden dowels, the shelf doesn't move, though.

Was a bit difficult to put together. The directions were hard to follow.

Over all it is a good design. The assembly instructions could use some improvement given that you are working solely based on small images that do not clearly specify that certain pieces goes a certain way. This causes a bit of back tracking at times to assemble. Once it came together, it came together nicely and I was happy with my set up.

Best desk for multi purpose use! I love that it comes with a spot for my printer that was the whole reason I bought it.
