Very solid desk. Allow a good 4-5 hours to put together. Be patient. Not difficult if you've done it before. The drawer runners were confusing however, but got there in the end. A couple of tiny damage marks but not where you would see them. Not sure how long the surface will remain in good condition, but only time will tell.

Major annoyance is that the drawers are not the depth of the desk - waste of space. HOWEVER, in my case it worked to my advantage as I put my socket tower there and it's hidden all the wires.
