I just got my desk and assembled it.  I have assembled many desks/furniture and I have to say this was one of the most difficult.  The bottom drawer panels are suppose to slide into groves on the side, front, and back drawer panels, but they were a tad too thick and were extremely hard to slide into place. The panels were starting to have pieces break off.  My 6'1, 230 lb son had to help and it took him using all of his weight to force the panels in the slots.  There was absolutely no way I could do it by myself.  My drawers work but I don't know how long they will last.  This item also came with quite a few dings in the panels, there was a small connecting piece missing, and one of the screws wouldn't thread.  I have to say I still like the desk, but feel it won't last long (I mean it is only $135-I guess I shouldn't expect much). :(
