I wanted a few things from a desk:* Affordable* Simple* Large* SturdyThis desk ticks all the boxes for me. Its not perfect, but for the price its minor deficits are easy to overlook.The Good:* Its an excellent size. I will easily be able to set it up with my desktop computer/monitor on one end and room for my laptop and possibly a 2nd monitor on the other end. All while having nice bookshelf speakers on it and some other things without it being cluttered.* It feels sturdy enough to hold all of my stuff without any wobble. I wouldnt stand on it or put many hundreds of pounds on it, but having multiple computers and office type stuff on it will leave me without worry.* For the price, it has some nice basic touches to it, like the wire holes on each end at the top, the wire holes on each leg and the included wire guides that attach to the modesty backing. All this allowing for clean cabling.The Bad(ish):None of this is really a deal breaker, just observations that others may not like.* Its heavy. Boxed its about 100 pounds and the box had no handles to carry it easily by. Heavy may be a good sign of strength and/or quality (and is likely the case here) but it also makes it hard to assemble, especially alone.* My next point is, expect this to be at least a 2 person job to assemble. Specifically when dealing with the desk top as thats the heaviest part by far, I would venture a guess at 50-75 pounds alone. If you have a powers screw driver/drill use it...I used a plain old screw driver and it was taxing.* The way its packed, you will most likely get it with the plastic wire guides cracked from the weight of the desk at some point being placed onto them. They are on one of the long edges of the box. For me 1 was fine and the 2nd was cracked but usable.Also, not really a negative at this price but the legs are wood, not metal. The only metal part are the "feet" of each leg. Would have been nice if the 2 legs/sides where metal. They would have been lighter and sturdier but would have added to cost as well.Once put together, its a solid desk. Assembly however had me worried about longevity. This uses a method of assembly you see in cheaper furniture for which I do not know the name of the parts or process, but will attempt to describe.You had a screw that is about 25% threaded end and about 75% rod. You thread/screw these into pre-drilled holes on the bottom side of the desk top. The rod end inserts into pre-drilled holes on each leg and the modesty backing. Then you place a metal "ring" into a dime sized pre-drilled hole on the size and when twisting it it locks into the rod pulling it tight.I find these over time to easily break/fail with lateral movement...like when trying to slide furniture across the floor. This has not happened yet of course, just that previous furniture using the same mechanism doesnt survive many moves say from home to home.Overall though, I am very happy with this. It looks more expensive than it is when built, provides plenty of surface space and doesn't come with unnecessary drawers or complexity that provide little value to me and only increase cost.I would recommend it to anyone looking for similar pro's as me as a home office desk.
