This is a nice desk once I finally got it put together.  The desk comes in  A LOT of several pieces and took me about 12 hours total to put together by myself.   I spent about 3-4 hours a night for 4 nights straight.  Once I finally finished, it looks really nice and is very sturdy.  There small damage to once piece but you cannot see it from the front and its not worth the effort to take it a part and replace if I were to request a replacement.  All in all, this is value for the quality if you've got the time and patience to work on it...especially if you'll be working on it alone. 

Pros: Looks nice, functional, sturdy
Cons: Takes forever to put together, comes in at least 100 pieces
