I really want to give this desk more stars but when it comes to assembly and reaching out to the company for assistance, I have to take stars away. It's a sturdy desk. Most of it was assembled, but there are support pieces under the desk that were not secured to the desk. When I called the number provided, they said they "guess you really don't need those pieces" Ma'am. I paid too much money for guesswork. There are no predrilled holes for the decorative pieces, so I just left those off because I don't want to keep trying to poke holes in the legs. I like the space it provides for all of my equipment but a HUUUUGE side-eye to the manufacturer and their lack of concern for pieces not secured. Honestly, I'd like the price to be adjusted for this.
