You get what you pay for, but you cant beat the price!
I have several pieces of furniture in my home that are imitation wood (compressed wood, MDF or however we want to call it) and Im quite please with them, yet this is the only one that I feel had the poorest quality.
The veneer that covers the wood is very thin, so Id assume it gets scratched easily / it also has this weird shine to it, which takes away the whole wood feel that these products are intended to simulate. As to the quality of the wood: Ive used power tools with MDF furniture before and had no problems, but as I was getting the pieces out of the box I decided Id listen to the instructions for once (lol) and did it all manually, and hearing the wood crackle like it was about to break whenever I tightened something up, or seeing the veneer lift around the edges of the holes whenever I screwed in a cam screw Yikes Luckily, once done putting it together, you dont see any of that lol
The reason why I give this a 5 star and not 4 or 3 is because at the end of the day, youre getting just what you paid for. I could not find a desk this big + with drawers anywhere else for this price. So I might be too critical of a product that does not deserve this much criticism, given its price.
I rated sturdiness 4/5 stars because while putting it together it kind of feels like the pieces are just gonna crack on ya right then and there but once put all together it feels nice and solid.
Drawers are nice and smooth (at least for me) and I was able to put this together fairly quickly. Its the perfect desk for my home office!
All in all, great product for the price I paid for!
