It's a nice desk. Not as strong/sturdy as i imagined but it is "doable". 
A few things to note: 
-assembly will take a lot of time 
-you will have to go as far as labeling the pieces yourself before you begin assembling 
- there are no words on the instructions; only pictures 
-pay CLOSE attention to the screws that you are using. Make sure they coincide with the number on the instruction manual
-there are 2 instruction manuals but be sure to follow the one with pictures and numbers that label screws etc. 
I think i would purchase this desk again for a cheaper price but def. not $100 
Despite everything i love the high gloss feature and that is what distracted me from all of the other "imperfections".
