I just put the desk together. So far I love it. As people mentioned, there are many parts and it takes hours to assemble. I found the gears/top to be most challenging and had to redo it a few times. Also, there are some dings where the paint is chipped already. Not sure if it came that way but for the price I am happy. I can always color the black and hide the chip to the top since it’s in the back.
