This desk is great! It wasn't terribly difficult to assemble with two people. It's sturdy and looks amazing. I gave it 4 stars because while it does look great, there are a couple areas that could have neater edges (not a big deal unless that type of thing REALLY bothers you - I don't think anyone other than myself has even noticed), the cord to the standing desk is a little annoying (haven't found a great way to hide it yet), and the drawers were difficult to assemble. All in all, I love the desk and would definitely buy it again.
