I'm really happy with this desk. It only took about 20 minutes to put together on my own. It was a bit heavier than I expected and I'd recommend two people for carrying the desk and putting a blanket down under the desktop during assembly. Like a few of the reviews, mine has a tiny flaw on the bottom where the cover design is a bit crooked but that doesn't bother me and isnt't visible. The "draw" area is deeper than I envisioned and it looks very neat and more expensive than it actually is in my very open concept apartment.
