This desk is really nice quality. It seems quite sturdy.  The directions to put it together are not so great.  It's not hard to do once you figure out the pictures though.  It would be nice to have directions for reversing the configuration if that is how you want it.  It can be done, but you gotta figure it out on your own.  Some of the hardware is separated out ... It would be nice to have all the different screws separated and labeled.
