This desk is beautiful, I love the size and sturdiness of it. It will take some time to build. Did it over the course of two days. The instructions are set so you can build it facing right or left. Only issue I had was one bracket for the cabinet door came bent. This seems like a freak accident because I can’t bend it back to fit and everything else came in perfect Oder.  South Shore had a replacement bracket sent in 2 days time. Wonderful all around.
