After reading reviews I was a little nervous. 
I just wanted no damage or missing parts. Also I read a lot complaining about how long it took to put together. Well I can honestly say the desk came out great! Yes it took my son and I 2 1/2  hours to put together. I would say take your time a read the instructions carefully. The desk is very sturdy. The drawers work fantastic. We did have a small scratch on one of the drawers. But nothing a permanent dark brown maker couldn’t fix! For the price I paid, I got a fantastic deal. Very happy!
