First, let me say this desk did meet my needs.   After an exhaustive search, this was the best option for me without spending much, much more money.    Wayfair did have the best price.  I read previous reviews on how difficult it was to put together and sadly, they were correct.  It took 3 people who are used to putting stuff together 6 hours to accomplish this task.   It was very frustrating as most of our time was wasted trying to figure out what to do based on pictures and unlabeled hardware.   While we were putting it together, we were never 100% sure we were accurate, so it meant going back to the pictures countless times to verify.   This issue could be easily fixed if the manufacturer would simply give step by step instructions and label the hardware. 

With that said, I am still glad I purchased the item.  It's sturdy enough for me because it will remain stationary.  If for any reason it would have to be moved, I'd be a little concerned.
