Beautiful desk for my home office. Wasn't difficult to assemble, but build time takes more of an hour or so rather the instructions stated 15 mins. Other than that I'm in love. The standing pull out works well for my Macbook laptop, it's so smooth I can move it up with a full cup of coffee and not spill a drop. My only compliant is the shelves aren't that smooth when you pull on them, but I think that's just me be being picky than an actual defect/issue. Some lubrication might solve that.
