I love my new desk. It did take a while for my husband to put together  because of all of the pieces but it wasn't hard ( in his opinion). The top of the desk has a little scratch but I'm not sure if we did that putting it together or if it was there already. It's no big deal because my keyboard covers it. I would suggest a mouse pad because it does look like it will scratch some more. 
I bought this desk because of the hutch  so that I could put my monitor on top and still have desk space.  The  attached outlet in one of the cubbies is nice as well. I don't have to  crawl under the desk to plug in my phone or other devices.
