This desk requires quite a bit of assembly but once it's together it looks quite nice. It's not made from the highest quality materials and it states in the instructions it can't take more than 50 lbs of weight, so I'm leery as to its durability. Be warned: step 2 of the instructions says to use the wrong screws (or the screws were labeled wrong) and the picture is wrong. Be sure to reverse where you put the cam screws and the dowels from what the picture shows. All the other steps seem to be correct. The cable storage in back is great.
