bought this in white. It is sleek and a real space saver. Instructions are clear but there is one step where two of the boards aren't held in by much and fell over during assembly (I was at the other end starting on another step).  There was damage and I had to use some glue and an L bracket. Thankfully the damage isn't overly visible now that it is assembled. Not sure what could be done differently. There are some steps that definitely require two people (clearly stated in instructions). Overall, I am happy with this desk!
