This desk is as described and very solid. It came well packed and my husband said the instructions were so easy to understand as everything was numbered. It took him about 1 12 hours. The preparation took most of the time and the actual assembly went quite quick. I only have a little space where I could fit a desk when working from home. The only issue I had is that if you have a chair with arms, it doesn’t fit under the desk so after a few days I decided to take the draw and the runners out and the chair fits under. It’s a shame as I really liked having a drawer, but I either get a different chair or have no drawer. Just thought it’s a point to consider when you ordering this desk and also looking for chairs.
