We LOVE our desk. My partner and I are both studying and having to put in time after work, and this desk is perfect for us. We love the size, it looks great, and it's sturdy. The only reason it is not 5 stars is the difficult assembly.  It took about five hours to assemble but would have been much quicker if a power drill was used for all the screws. Some of the holes weren't fully punctured so we also had to re tap in places. But if you are a confident builder and own some power tools it would be a breeze.
