I ordered the one that had the wood vertical sides.  There are two choices.  It at first seemed like a lot of parts to put together but they were each numbered and the directions were crystal clear. I would suggest two people to put it together or at least to start with the base.  The rest is simple.  It is very heavy after put together so quality wood products.  It must be braced against a wall and they supply a brace for it.  I am completely happy with it and it added to the wood desk I ordered on Wayfair as well.  I could see this used in a kitchen or bathroom as well.
