I bought this desk so that I could have an additional work surface. It went together very easily. Some special notes. While the desk seems light at 26 pounds imagine for a moment moving it. It will slide easily BUT this is not something that you will casually pick up and move from room to room. 

Pros: easy to assemble, good size work surface
Cons: at 26 pounds it's a little too heavy to make it a portable desk
