This was a gift for my husband who informed me that when he was putting together the screws that attach in the corner thru the bottom were to long and they came thru the desk. There were also some revisions he had to make to the underside of the desk due to cheap parts. He will get his use out of it and luckily we are able to fix the blemishes that took happened due to the screws. They just don't make furniture like they used to.
