I really love the desk and am glad I purchased it. The scale is great for the size of my office. I put it together by my 
Self which took me about 3 to 4 hours. Instructions were clear, and very well organized. If you aren’t handy you might want to pay to have it put together. I would also say, when I ordered the desk based on the picture shown, it appeared lighter in color then it really is. It is more of a walnut tone and darker then the picture shown. That is why I gave it a 4.
