So, I ordered this desk back in May it arrived with a few screws missing and a crossbar that was too long. I used the web site and spoke to Whitney, lots of apologies and a replacement bar was sent out, that turned out to be the exact same size as the first one. Whitney called me, more apologies, and another cross bar was sent out. It was delayed as they were 'out of stock.,' could they have been checking the length of all the crossbars in stock? It was probably stupid of me to think that was the case,, but no, still 45 inches long, which was wider than outside leg to outside leg at the point where the holes were drilled. I emailed Whitney a week ago no reply, no call. Order this desk if you must but, make sure you have access to a saw that will cut through metal if you want to use it. I'm not the first person with this issue according to other reviewers and I'm sure I won't be the last. I won't be buying anything else from AllModern or Mercury Row, the maker. Lesson well learned.
