This desk was worth it. My only complaint is the drawer. It seems a little stiff when opening/closing. Everything else is perfect. I've been using this desk for two days now. Plenty of space. I love the holes and tools that facilitate cord control. The extra shelf underneath is super helpful. I hate clutter and sometimes my desk becomes a cluttered mess... that extra shelf helps to alleviate that. 

It did take a while to put together but I finally got it together. I dread having to move it though. It was heavy in the box. I hope disassembly will make it light if I ever move.
