It's beautiful when assembled. I've had many positive comments already. I'm glad I have it. It can be flipped for either orientation at time of assembly. For the price / size one of the best L-shaped desks I've seen. Compatible with other items in the system. Over all very recommended. Here's the concerns: 1) be ready for weight of the packages. They are heavy. I'm 6' 2" middle age male in fairly good health and they are heavy. Have help & save your back. 2) some parts of the instructions are confusing. They try to do too much with a single step. Be ready to spend some time in assembly. 3) because of the join at the corner, this desk wont move well. So be sure where you want to put it and leave it there. Or if you need to move it have two helpers. All in all a good desk. This is in my office and will receive daily use.
