Love this desk. It can be put together by one person but help would make it so much quicker. All together it was about a 30-40 minute build. It feels sturdy enough but the bottom shelf seems like after a while it might bend down of something heavy is on it. I love the look of the glass and the black is the perfect black. Only complaint is that the keyboard tray gets stuck halfway out and I have to wiggle it. It could be because its new so it may start getting easier with time.
