I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this item. It is heavy gage steel with welded joints. The finish is a nice shiny enamel, and every piece was individually wrapped, but in spite of that there were quite a few pieces with minor residue or scuffs - most came off with a mild solvent, but some did not. The heavy fasteners, mostly large socket head cap screws, came in a tiny bag. That is because nearly all the needed bolts were stored in the holes where they be used during assembly. That was a nice touch because it eliminated the difficulty of sorting out many similarly sized metric fasteners. Every piece had a little removable label identifying the part so it could be matched with the instruction sheet. The instruction sheet was not great, but the assembly was so easy that the instructions were only needed to differentiate a few similar looking pieces. In an age when mass produced, flimsy junk has become the norm, this desk is exceptional and well worth the price.
Very sturdy, and very functional!
