I read the mixed reviews but gave it a shot and bought the desk anyway since it was the perfect size I needed.  When it arrived, the corner of the desktop was damaged, and despite what the description says, this is not made of solid wood.  And, I thought it would be easy to put together since the pieces are labelled, but I couldn't even get past Step 1-2 since the existing holes were not in the right place.  I finally gave up and requested a return.  I was disappointed with my purchase but glad to see some of the buyers got lucky with their purchase.
