This is a beautiful desk, and very simple to put together. I did it by myself. I like everything about it. It's attractive, open, sturdy. My only issue is that it's deeper than I thought it would be (duh, look at measurements), so it doesn't quite fit where I wanted it. Still, it's a very nice piece. One thing I really appreciate is that it comes with actual hardware that you can tighten appropriately, not those crazy lock screw things that don't hold.
