This desk was for my 12 year old daughter after moving needed something to fit her space better. It is as described and functional. I listened to the other reviews and it is difficult if you connect the desk part using their holes. You must extend that piece out more or there is no space even for a chair. My 12 year old put this together with me assisting in about 90mins. We had my husband help with the rails for the slide out laptop part.  The directions were not good. Only pictures, no words. The pictures were very confusing but my daughter was determined and able to figure it out. She would not stop until we got it done. 

Pros: Fits our space and functional
Cons: Directions and desk top fitting
