The desk itself is nice and I like that it is natural wood and not manufactured.  The assembly process is a nightmare. Clearly they provide instructions that are just pictures and it's difficult to make sense of it and I had to put it together out of order. They provided a screwdriver that looks nice but it's not practical to get in to the smaller spots. Finally, the holes. The shelf has to be stable and sadly mine is not because the holes were not drilled right. That is a huge QA issue. I got the shelf up but the support bar under it does not fit correctly and the manufacturer has not been helpful. The drawer was very easy to put together which I was grateful for after dealing with the shelf issue for a very long time.
