This is a great desk, however, I am disappointed in some of the assembly. One of the pre-made holes in the metal pieces had a small "nub" where a screw could not be screwed in. After sacrificing a few drill bits to the cause and slowly but surely wearing it down, we were able to put the screw in, but it made the the assembly process an extra 40 minutes long. It's such an insignificant detail that can really ruin the whole process because how are you supposed to assemble the desk if a screw won't go in? Fortunately, we were able to make it work, but it would've really stunk if we had to return the whole beautiful desk because of such a small issue.
