The final product is great! It looks wonderful in our office and is big enough that using a gaming chair does not look like too much for this desk. When it is all together, I would say it is VERY sturdy. The only downside was putting this thing together. Definitely a two person job. Some of the holes in the wood did not match up well with the holes in the metal, so more care could have been taken with the factory preparation of the product.That being said, I really wanted a two person, wooden-style desk with black metal beams, so this hit the nail on the head. I most likely would have bought this again for that reason.
