The desk is nice, but the assembly was more complicated than it should have been. The alignment between the screw holes in the wood and the metal frame was not perfect, so it was annoying getting everything to fit. I needed a second pair of hands for some parts. Also, some of the labels for parts/hardware were missing so you may have to do a little guess-and-check. Overall, I would recommend the desk. It looks nice and provides plenty of elbow room.
