This thing is exactly what I was expecting to be honest. Mine came with all parts and some extra screws, it’s only hard to build if you’ve never built furniture before and even if you haven’t it’d still be hard to mess up to be honest. Everything is labeled and neatly packaged. I’ve seen some bad reviews of parts arriving broken but that’s bound to happen when ordering some things online, luckily I got mine unscathed. It looks great and it’s decently sturdy. I’m not expecting to be loading 100+ pounds on it but I do have two 3 gallon fish tanks at the moment (roughly 50 pounds all together) and it doesn’t seem to need any help holding them up. I plan to put a monitor for my computer on the long side but I don’t think I would trust it to hold up my pc as well. I think a safe gauge of durability is no more than 60 - 70 pounds. It works especially well since my monitor is a smaller 27 inch 4K (which are usually lighter compared to some monitors). Being said and done, I would trust it with my fish tanks and a monitor but no more. If you’re looking for something capable of holding more than 80 pounds go spend twice the price somewhere else. All in all it’s a great desk and isn’t as big as you might think but just enough to do whatever you need it to do well.I work from home, and my hardware has evolved from 1 laptop to 2 laptops, a docking station plus 2 24" monitors. My 3ft desk wasn't cutting it.I own my own business and was looking for an affordable but solid desk.My only suggestion for improvement would be to increase depth of the top...it's a little tight when using multiple devices and monitors. I would pay for the extra space. For anyone who doesn't need that extra space, this is a 5 star solid desk for getting the best value for the price...and it looks great, too.I love the desk. Hated the assembly. I am not mechanically inclined so assembly was a beast. I put it together and took it apart 3 times before I got it right. I'm a single 57 woman ... Just pay attention to the location of the screw holes! But overall I am pleased with the desk.Much easier to put together than some of the other desks I have set up. Wood looks nice and seems to be holding study. The side pouch is also nice, little stiff but nice.Quality product straight out the box, easy to assemble, very sturdy, and perfect for a starter gaming setup. For what it is, me personally I’d say it’s worth the money.The desk is just perfect for my room as it is not that big. The issue with it is the instruction are actually miss labeled so it can easily be messed up if you don't pay attention to what you're doing. But other than that, it is great for my needs being gaming and drawing with the extra space on the side. Kinda wish the width was a bit wider on each side but for the price it is a great deal for this form factor.Bought this desk for gaming and it's a great deal. assembled the desk in 30 minutes and everything lined up and leveled up great.It will do. I would get something better in the future
