TLDR; Desk is exactly what it claims to be and very sturdy. Huge value for the money.I am blown away at the value of this desk. The metal is heavy and well coated, the design is inherently sturdy, and assembly was (within reason) painless due to pieces actually fitting together as designed. The table top obviously isn’t overly premium being laminate, but it too is sturdy and attractive, and feels like it should be durable. I was considering desks three times the price and am very happy I gave this one a shot.Even something as silly as the lower cross bar is well thought out. A lot of desks put it several inches off the ground where it will smash your shins or knees, but the designer of this desk realized that if it’s on the floor you will just rest your feet on it instead, and still gain the structural benefit.Overall, it met or exceed all my expectations.
