Great value for this desk. It has a relatively small footprint; a perfect match for our New England cape. In addition to the smaller scale, the metal and glass give it a lighter feel; the desk is not dominating the room. While I assembled it mostly by myself, when it came time to place the glass, it definitely became a two-person job. We had to loosen and tighten various connections to get everything to finally sit as it should, and the suction cups are not easy to seat in the holes on top of the bars (my trick was to push them in using the end of the included allen wrench.) Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. (I also purchased the Genie Mid-back Mesh Task Chair, and it's a good pairing.)
