I was afraid it would look flimsy or stupid. It is neither one nor the other. It looks good (not amazing as it's really just a few pieces of wood) and it's solid. I assembled it in about 2 minutes with no tools and little effort. I like that it's very portable (it weighs less than my laptop) and by moving just one part I can switch between different modes. Highly recommended if you're looking for a rugged, no-fuss, versatile, and good-looking stand-up desktop device.
