I just got this and put it together today. It was very easy to assemble with the instructions and took me about 3 hours. I absolutely love the black wood color and shelving units to help me save some space. There is enough room on the table top to place a laptop or even a desktop computer with one or more monitors. I took away one star because one of the shelves had some scratches when I took it out of the box, likely from moving around inside the box during shipping. Had all the wood units been properly packaged I think there wouldnt be as much superficial damage. Overall, this desk looks very simple yet versatile!
