The desk was easy enough to assemble, and once we had both together we realized we wanted to swap end pieces on one to make a U shape for the work space. This also was easy enough to do. I didn't realize the lofted stand wasn't on the same side as the keyboard tray, so to use that as a monitor stand is not possible. (It clearly shows in the photo it is not, but I did not pay attention to that slight detail apparently.)
The two pieces, mixed with another fixture we already had, will make this a great work station for two busy managers who aren't at their desks much any more.
