Ok, I searched, I mean I SEARCHED! Finally settled on this, honestly the deal for all three pieces at a price that other desks alone were at, made it hard to not. I love the color, the grey is exactly what I thought it would be. It came within 2 days. Yes it comes in a ton of pieces, but you're putting together these yourself, so they will obviously have pieces. The filing cabinet took about 2 hours to put together, the desk probably more like 3-4hrs, the bookshelf took maybe an hour. I did not put them together, but I did watch my father in law do it (lol). It seemed overall very easy as long as you follow the directions. Time consuming yes, but worth the money savings. They all look great, there were no dents or anything like that in any of it. Yes its manufactured wood, but it seems very sturdy.  I did measure but it all seems bigger and even more solid than I expected it to be. Absolutely worth every penny.
