Is the desk sturdy or is it kind of flimsy?

It is very sturdy, if you've ever put together any of these laminated particle-board pieces, they're very sturdy and heavy too. You don't get the fit and finish you would from a $2000 cherry desk but it definitely gets the job done.

The back wall of the hutch is thin but the desk and the hutch itself are sturdy.

Yes! To say this desk is compact, it is very sturdy. Originally I had old style tube monitor which weighed over 50lbs and the desk supported it no problem.

It is sturdy. I think it would be fine but it doesnt tilt all the way back like a table so I dont know if you would be able to put a lap top on it or not.

It IS solid wood, but it's predominantly a light wood over which a dark veneer has been applied. It's sturdy but with four legs and no drawers, it's not as solid as a desk would be. Still, I'm sitting at mine that I've had for a year, right now and I like it just fine. I use it every single day - just not for real heavy stuff like a heavy monitor or something like that.

It is completely sturdy. However, this is a fairly tall table, more like a work bench than a desk.

It's not very sturdy at all and the the monitor of only 19 inch can fit in the space. I would not recommend buying the desk.

The desk is solid for the price. In saying that I only have a laptop and books on mine - I do not have a problem.

I feel like it's really sturdy. I have a very heavy desk mic stand on it most of the time, and it is very stable.

I use this as a laptop/etc. desk. It is kind of of wobbly, but it is strong enough to hold a sewing machine (although I think it would shake if you sewed fast).

The shelve is sturdy, not flimsy at all. I use mine to display vases and books. and it's very stable.

It is a bit on the heavy side, I know I had problems getting it to where I was putting it together. By the stats Amazon has for it it weighs about 132 lbs, so getting it up a flight of stairs, I would suggest getting some help. I personally love the desk. Good Luck.

Yes, it's fairly sturdy. I keep it on a shelf in a linen closet, but have moved it to countertops before.

Its pretty sturdy. Not sure how much weight it will hold. We have 2 laptops on it and you can lean on it with no problem.

I've had this desk piled full of text books since Christmas, and it is holding up well. If it's put together properly it feels very sturdy. I use it everyday, and it feels solid.

Mine was not damaged at all, and it was easy to put together. I'm happy with this desk, glad I bought it.

It's pretty sturdy. You can use a laptop with no worries. I wouldn't put 100 lbs on it, but it's not fragile
