Default Ikea? does it have nice sturdy tables/desks

kid is redoing her room and needs a new table or desk for computer & school work.

looking online we like this one -
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S29820433
It looks like it should be sturdy and the adjustable legs would be great.

has anybody bought this or any of Ikea's desk/table items?
are they well made?

My son and I went to IKEA in Oakland, CA and bought some things for his apartment. They were great.

I looked at the table you chose ,but I don't see that as roomy enough for a computer and school work. Is it a laptop?

How about drawers and storage space?

I'd look for something with more usefulness and a sturdier appearance.

I'm working at my ikea desk right now! We also have an entertainment center and a file cabinet unit by them. Some people don't like it because it's made of MDF with veneers but I think Ikea is fairly sturdy and the entertainment center has actually been through 3 moves with no problems.

I love my desk - it's large and L shaped. Important to me because I need room for the monitor, printer, all the related computer stuff and stuff to spread out and work. It's easy to put together - I did the file cabinet/storage unit myself in a couple of hours.

I love IKEA. I buy all of the furniture for my kids from there.
