This desk is great! I looked at SO many desks before finally deciding on this one, and I'm really happy with it. It is perfect for my home office, and even sturdier than I expected. The wood is really solid, and so are the metal bars. It took me about 3 hours to put together by myself, but the instructions were good, and the hardware was well-labeled. The drawers were a little finicky when putting them in, but I was able to make it work with a little nudging from my rubber mallet. I'm really excited about this desk, and hope to use it for a long time to come!
