Surprisingly strong for the money. Will serve for drwaing and painting since it stable. The materials didn't seem like it would be as strong. But when assembled we were pleased

This desk is the perfect size and love that it has a keyboard tray. Well worth the price!

It could be great if it could have been set up left or right for the long side.

It's nice enough except for one serious design flaw

I purchased this in a store rather than online. Assembly was easy enough for one person - the instructions were clear and all parts were present and labeled. The fit and finish is not very good with slight misalignments between the boards and metal frames the edges are a little worn from movement in the box and there is bad molding on the plastic caps but it looks decent once it's all together. It would be nice if the keyboard tray was a bit wider but that's typical of low-end office furniture. This would be more forgivable except for the design flaw. The serious design flaw involves the crossbar directly under and supporting the 5/8" desk boards themselves (part number 8 in the instructions). Only one supporting bar is included for each side of the desk and the tabs to attach it are only present on the front third of the desk. This provides woefully inadequate support for anything closer to the rear of the desk: a single Dell P2414H 24" (~16 lbs) monitor on its included base is enough to cause the back of the desk to bow! I do not know why the designers would go to the trouble of making a 24" deep desk (deeper than the 19-20" typically standard) then screw it up by inadequately supporting the part of the desk that would be supporting the most weight. I'm leaning heavily towards just returning this; If I do not try to return this desk I'll be trying a monitor mount that can clamp right to the metal frame or buying something from Lowes to reinforce the back - but then again if I had the tools to make that why wouldn't I just make my own desk to begin with?

Not very sturdy

It has a nice work space however the section connections are weak it takes 3 people to gingerly lift it after assembling to flip it over and maneuver into place. Bought for a college student its not likely to last a move.
