Its a classic case of buying cheap and getting cheap. The plastic is curling around the edges of the wood boards and there was an instance where my husband had to scrape at one of the holes so we could get the screw past a random blob of metal. I am sensitive to chemical smells and noticed the boards initially had a slight smell to them, but it has quickly gone away in the few days Ive had it set up. The bottom shelf is in the way of our wall outlet, so I have to make sure to buy a power strip with a flat cord.
Its relatively laborious to put together, but all of the parts were there, and the box included a lot of extra screws and washers, which was nice. Thankfully my desk is in a dark basement where you wont notice the plastic issue. Overall the product is about what I expected and is true to photos, but if you have more money to spend, look elsewhere.
