Love the look of this desk.  It took some time to assemble but the instructions were VERY clear and easy to follow (and even humorous in places!).  Had a bit of trouble on one step because one of the metal bars was slightly too long but figured it out.  Took off one star because after only a day or two normal use, there's a scratch on the top.  Planning to get some plexiglass custom cut to use as a desktop protector, so this should solve that issue.  Would buy this desk again - at least at this point.
