Put it together by myself and it was a very fun experience! The drawer and shelves are very deep and more than enough. I really like how much surface space there is to work. I did expect the desktop to be gray as stated but it's more of a tan. 

Would make sure that the cross beams are adjusted properly before building the rest of the stand. I inverted the beams so the stand originally didn't fit properly when I tried to attach it to the bottom of the desk. The beams should be longer on top and shorter at the bottom before attaching to the stand. This wasn't clear in the instructions.
