Like others said, this desk took forever to put together and the directions were very confusing. But that's not why I'm giving it one star. I went to put some things on the shelves of the hutch and it visibly bowed down in the middle from the weight. The cabinet doors would no longer close because of this. Keep in mind, the items I put on the shelf were well less than the weight limit. For over $700 I expected this desk to be of better quality.
