Compact indeed.  It was easy enough for almost all the boards to identify what piece they were, and the two left were possible with the process of elimination.

As has been said, screw holes don't line up _perfectly_.  In my case they were still manageable and I didn't shank them through the boards or anything.

I'm 5'10 and I would need a short chair to use a laptop comfortably on this, but a monitor is fine.  Not a whole lotta room for keyboard and mouse but unless you're a pro gamer I don't think that'll be an issue.
