This desk was chosen to be used in our workshop basement.  Not for a work bench, but where my husband can use the computer and printer needed for designs and patterns. 
Can’t praise the writers of the directions enough.  Very well organized and written in easy to follow instructions.  If you’ve never assembled anything in your life, you could by using the instructions provided.
The packaging was well thought out and completely protected the desk during shipping. This is a very sturdy, spacious desk and built to last.
