The desk is what you’d expect given the price. The reason it does not get five stars is two fold: 1) I had to grind a bad weld on one of the stands to make the top fit and 2) the keyboard drawer is useless - just throw it away (they should get ride of it and lower the price!).
The structure is stable and easy to set up. We have two of them in our home office. While very simple design they are more than sturdy enough. Quality of the desk surfaces isn't the greatest but acceptable for us. The only issue for us has been the cross rails in back are too low to slide our larger tower PC under the desk so I drilled new holes and mounted one higher to accommodate.

I love the desk! It was easier than I expected to put together. The depth is perfect.
Some of the better parts of this desk are: Very much room for my monitors/pc tray table to hold my keyboard/mouse good footrest options smooth surfaces are cool. Some of the bad things about the desk are: The footrest isn't always the most comfortable Kicking the desk hurts more than other desks The shape can be inconvienent sometimes. I would reccomend this desk to anyone.
