I love this desk! I've been using it for 3 weeks and have no complaints. My brother put it together for me, and he didn't say it was hard. I did have to help him put the top (the larger piece) on the base as it was in two pieces, held together minimally by brackets. It was slightly difficult to get it on there while making sure the brackets didn't bend for the wood to crack. 
Setting my preferred heights was really easy and it is soooooo quiet when it moves; my dog didn't even care the first time. It's fairly sturdy at the highest and lowest settings; although slight bumps at the higher settings cause it to move a little more than I would like. The drawers it came with are smiilar to the fabric cubes you get for a cube bookcase, but they are really nice and hold quite a bit. It is the perfect desk for a home office area that I had to put together rather quickly!
