Needed more work space for my home office and this desk is perfect - plenty of surface space to spread out with room for my laptop & an additional monitor plus all my desk accessories.  Assembly instructions aren't great -its just graphics and you have to pay close attention to the picture so you get the pieces turned the correct way (i had to undo and start over a couple of times because i got a piece backwards) but once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty smoothly - i was able to put it together by myself in a little over an hour.
