**UPDATE** I took the time to take apart the desk and try to keep all the parts organized. Went over the directions again and this time the desk came together. the desk looks very professional and it looks very clean and classic in my office! the X's that go on the back of the desk, I thought they were too short but I had to use a little force to make sure all the legs were straight. I love it so much!
I really like this desk, but some parts just did not fit correctly. The metal X that goes in the back of the desk did not fit any which way. I tried everything. The directions are very confusing and I wish there was more stickers on the parts to help tell you which way parts went. I’m currently trying to figure out how to put the top on because the holes don’t line up.
