My new desk is wonderful! It took me several hours to put it together almost completely by myself. My husband helped get the top on the base. Ironically, I was left with a few extra bolts, as in, oops, why do I have these? The desk wobbles a hair, so that's probably why, lol. I had an issue attaching the top board under the desk to the frame. The material kept buckling while I was trying to attach the correct parts. I decided I would just wing it and see what happens. After many hours of frustration, talking to myself and lots of laughter, the desk is now in my home office and I love it. The only thing missing is a pull out shelf for my cat. He doesn't understand why he can't sit in front of the computer. By the way, I just turned 66 and I've put together a dining room set, a floor lamp, set up yet another printer and a computer chair in the last couple of weeks. I'm quite proud of myself! I'll add photos once the new carpet is installed, but not by me!
