Really great value overall for this set. relatively easy to assemble as all holes are predrilled even for the backer boards. it did not get five stars because i feel like the seating area for both side of the desk is not wide enough. i constantly find myself hitting the right side. also, when the hutch is installed my monitors do not fit under them at the height i like them at. i've had to lower them and now i'm slouched over. i'll be getting a keyboard tray later. it would have been nice to have the corner curved so you can work at that angle. instead you really have to pick a side to work on. i would not recommend putting the backer board on in the cpu slot if you are going to put your desktop tower in it. it will quickly overheat. the desk does scratch easily.
