Once it’s assembled, it’s a 4. Good and large sturdy desk.

But I rate assembly 1 star. 8 of the screws did not line up properly, even when not tightening until it was all put together. The worst one, I had to force the upper shelf into place and clamp it to get it to stay in position to insert a screw. There wasn’t enough space to use the provided screwdriver so luckily I had my own ratchet set to make due. My favorite part of the whole assembly was the last step trying to figure out why the drawer would not slide in. Turns out both guide rail brackets were mounted backwards.

Again, now that the headache of putting together this poorly manufactured desk is over, it’s a great desk. But if you don’t want to be banging your head on it in frustration, get a desk that will be easier to assemble.
