I love the look of this desk when fully assembled HOWEVER, four of the corners were damaged.  I kept the desk because the damaged areas were in the back or inside and not terribly noticeable. First of all, open the box outside or in the garage. There's Styrofoam packing and it flies everywhere. The number of parts that needs to be assembled are unbelievable.  My neighbor who is very handy took over the assembly because of it's complexity.  It took him hours to put it together. I can't imagine how long it would have taken me.  Attaching the keyboard tray to the guides was difficult.  It was a tight fit and literally had to be hammered in place. The other issue was the file drawer guides.  They were off and the drawer didn't close properly. We moved the right guide attached to the desk back and all is well.  Bottom line - the desk looks great and is an incredible value. I gave it 3 stars strictly because of the difficult assembly and condition it arrived in.
