Love this desk. Took about 90 minutes to build but was worth it. We got hung up on how to install the runners/rails on the desk and on the drawers. It was a bit confusing for us. (A little more detail in the instructions on how to install would be great). l wouldn't lower the rating over this because maybe it was just us. Once we worked through that it was a breeze. The desk is solid and looks high end. The desktop feels like real weathered wood without the splinters (I think it is formica). Well worth the money.
