Hartmut Mark Neven 5 To be honest I’m pretty impressed by this product. I was a little apprehensive with a couple of the previous bad reviews but it went together very easily, it took about 30 minutes to assemble and it looks and performs well. I don’t have any issue with the stability as it is more for storage and display rather than for every day use. Be aware that the wood/shelves are a natural form not MDF/particleboard so it is not smooth but has a nice charm to it, for me this was not an issue. It is a vast improvement on the old style desk that it replaced, is modern and perfect for the space it was intended
