This is a really cool desk design. However, it was very difficult to assemble. Some directions made it harder than it should be. Also, a lot of the bolts were REALLY different to screw in. We gave up on one of the shelves because we couldn’t get the screws to go in. One of the shelves was damaged, so we decided to just eliminate that shelf. Despite all of this, my son actually really likes the look and functionality of the desk.
