For the price, I was expecting this desk to be compressed boards that were only finished on the visible side, but they arent. The boards are finished with a wood texture and black pain on all sides. The desk is surprisingly sturdy as well; however, if you have a tower for a desktop computer, there is not enough room to add in the extra shelf.
Assembly was a team effort and I would strongly recommend using your own screw driver, as they supplied is pretty wimpy.
Overall, a very sturdy and nice looking piece of furniture for a budget price.
Heavy and Nice Finish
