Very happy with the desk.  I consider myself to be experienced in putting together furniture as I've moved many times.  The instructions were very easy to follow but it did take me almost 2 hours to put together just because there were so many pieces.  No issues with the assembly at all.  

One problem with care/handling which may be more about the packaging/delivery people's.  There is a crack running down the top of the desk.  I didn't discover it until I had already carried all the pieces up 2 flights of stairs and re-arranged my office so I decided that I could live with the crack and continued to put the desk together.
