Very sturdy. Nightmare to assemble. Be careful not to break the wood.
Really sturdy desk; however, its a NIGHTMARE to assemble. I love putting things together and Im the one friends call for assembly but this was awful to assemble. Some parts did not fit well and the instructions were not always clear. I spent 4 hours putting this together alone. It can be done by yourself but I would recommend two people. Its impossible to see if the screws align with the holes at times. One side lines up perfectly with the middle but the other side doesnt, causing one side to nor be aligned. It says make sure there is no space between the middle and side before you tighten the screws but there was no way to close the space. I even took that part apart and did it over and it was the same issue. Also be careful. When you first add the wood, you are using a different size screw. The instructions did not emphasize this and I grabbed the wrong screws. One turn too tight and you are bursting through the wood. The good thing is its hard to see the damage and loosening the screw mostly flattens it back out. All in all it looks great (except this vintage color wood isnt aming).
Pro: Price. Sturdiness. Size. Appearance.
Cons: Hard to put together. Pieces dont fit perfectly. Easy to damage the wood.
