The good: the instructions were very easy to follow (a lot of steps, but I had no problems following it). Everything was labeled. Every part has a sticker with the part id from the instructions, and even a small picture of where it goes. All the hardware (screws, dowels, etc) were in their own numbered bags. Again very easy to use. And everything was assembled with a regular Phillips screwdriver - no allen wrenches! It also looks really nice.
The bad: The materials are not very strong. You can make the shelves sag by pressing down with your thumb. The whole desk wobbles a bit with a little big of pressure. This isn't expensive, but it isn't cheap either. For this much money, I expect the shelves to be able to hold up a book without sagging, and I expect the desktop to not move side-to-side with the breeze. I needed a desk just this size, and I was happy to find it. But if I knew how bad these issues were, I wouldn't have bought it.
