I was hesitant about buying this after reading other reviews but the desk was on sale and at a good price so I decided to take a chance and glad I did. Im a woman and put this together in an hour. Hmmmm.... The measurements were true to scale, the drawers glide open and close easy, the amount of top space is huge and it looks really nice after it was all done. I left the keyboard part off and used it instead as an extra shelf above the desk. The only problem I have is that its a lil wobbly and the L brackets holding the 2 pieces together are a little small for my taste so I bought thicker and bigger brackets and now its totally sturdy. For the amount I paid though I think it should of came with better brackets but  to me not a big problem, it was a cheap fix and worth it.
