I was able to put the desk together in about an hour with no assistance and only a phillips screwdriver (plus the included hex key). The steel frame is lightweight but sturdy, and overall the desk is very stable. The material is all manufactured wood, with the typical joints. The finish is smooth but looks like they photographed a rustic wood texture and printed it on the veneer. The only downside is the flimsy drawer, I would not put any weight on it for fear it will collapse. Maybe it was intended to hold a few sheets of paper? Anyway, looks great and was about half the price of similar designed desks. My 21 iMac fits perfectly on the desk without any clearance issues. The footprint is small, so it is great for a bedroom or dorm, and the shelf is an added plus. Hardware was complete and instructions very clear.
Half the price, all the value.
