My husband and I have done many of the "do-it-yourself" pieces of furniture (including other corner desks!) and this one by far is the best we've seen. It took us about two hours to put it together from start to finish, closely following the instructions/images in the booklet. It is very sturdy and fits the new PC we bought for our kids to do their homework etc on better than we expected. Whenever we get around to buying another/more desks we will definitely be getting another one of these!!!
