I absolutely love this desk!! First, it has a perfect depth to length ratio! I am an engineer and often need a ton of room for hand drafting, having my laptop open, and working on assignments. This desk has made my home work experience great. I will say that I think the directions for assembly are odd - it is MUCH easier to put it together with the top of the desk upside-down and put the legs and support bars on upside down. The support bars are especially difficult, but be patient with them, they will work... And then finally add the ledge on the top last. This desk is quite a bit heavier than I expected, which is good, because again, it makes it more sturdy. Overall, it was a great purchase, especially for the price.
