I got this as a computer desk for "working at home" use. It is solid, well built and good value for the money.PROS:A). 100% solid wood. Attractive grain.B) Easy to fit together but it is heavy (almost 70lbs) and, unless you know how to do it properly (and safely), you will need an assistant when it comes to inverting the constructed table (you construct it upside down).CONS:A) Polystyrene used in packaging. There are alternatives now that don't leave bits and pieces of the material floating everywhere. This un-recylable plastic should have been banned years ago.B) Delivery. The item was delivered unexpectedly 1 week early with no notification of change of delivery. The table was left in the porch during a long period of heavy rain. The door bell was not rung to indicate delivery. (Shipper CEVA). Fortunately, I saw it not too long after delivery so no damage was done.Added: I ordered another of these tables. The agreed delivery date was changed to an earlier date - not a problem - but their (CEVA) tracking information did not make it clear if the item would be delivered on the new date. When it was delivered, again during heavy rain, the driver did ring the bell. So there was no problem with water damage.More seriously, the item was damaged - presumably dropped on a corner (damaged) and some of the wood frame support was split as a result. Not enough damage to justify the time required to make a return - I can likely do the repairs - but not a good sign.
