After buying three computer workstations that all bowed, warped, or otherwise disappointed at the local big box office store, I took a chance and bought this for my husband. We assembled it differently than shown in the photo--we put the monitor and keyboard where the printer shelf is and vice versa. What a great investment. It is used for hours every day and is home to a heavy laser printer, tower, monitor, large speakers and the usual peripherals. It is every bit as sturdy as the day we put it together. One surprise was how nice it actually looks. The photo does not do it justice. It is heavy--but is easily moved. Worth every penny. My only regret is that I did not get one for myself!
