There were three main issues with the desk. Firstly, it took a very long time to construct, but the instructions were clear enough. Secondly, some of the fittings were extraordinarily difficult to use - one set of screws and fittings were just about impossible to get to fit. Finally, when we had finished the desk and went to move it into place, one push and the whole desk fell apart - the bolts ripped right out of the wood chip and laminate. I had to take the desk apart, rebuild it and then VERY gently maneuver it into place. It was very upsetting and we may never be able to move it again! The two stars are for the overall look if the desk, which is good, and for the service - the desk arrived quickly and is exactly as described. However, for the money, the materials are very poor. What's the point of a piece of furniture you cannot move around? If you buy this desk I suggest you build it exactly where you want to use it...
