Got this desk to replace my glass top desk that was starting to rust in a few spots. There are a lot of screws that needs to be hand tightened as they are the hex Alan wrench heads. Take your time so you won’t wear out your fingers. Seems sturdy but all of the shelves are held up by the screws themselves. The board itself is mediocre. Not cheap particle board but it’s still a particle board with I think Melamine finish so it is sturdier. The desktop itself is sitting on the frame so I have far more confidence of it holding more weight (PC and monitors). Got the 55in wide top but due to the built in shelf I can only place my 27in monitor. There wasn’t enough room for a second 19in monitor (unless you can adjust to a vertical monitor). There is enough space to fit my 17in work laptop though.
My one main gripe is that the measurements given for the bottom shelf where a PC tower would sit should be noted that the width is an inch shorter due to the cross bar that the back under shelf (the shelf under the desktop by your legs) is attached to. So if you move the side middle shelf up a tier to fit a PC tower the width at the top is a inch narrower. With the specs given I thought I could sit my tower square on that bottom shelf but it hangs off to the side because of the cross bar being in the way.
