The desk is well made, pretty sturdy, and was really easy to put together. As long as you have a basic understanding of how screws go into a hole, you can get it assembled in around 20-30 minutes. The shelves are well spaced and make for really good additional storage on the side without having to incorporate another piece of furniture. It’s a standard heigh, which is a little tall for me, but with an adjustable height chair it’s perfect. The shelves can also be put on either side (left of right of the desk) so it can be very adaptable for your needs. My only complaint, which is more of just a general observation, is that it came a lot bigger than I thought it would be! The desk face is pretty large, and could easily accommodate two moderately sized monitors. I’m going to use it for additional storage space and maybe some decor, but the value for the product was as aspected and I think it will be a great addition to my room.
