The desks are sturdy and beautiful. The packaging for assembly was very well done. Instruction booklet was not clear and parts 3, 4, 5 and 6 were a problem for me. This caused a redo. However, I finally got my two desks assembled. It took me 2 full days (I'm 85 years old and slow). My husband is very pleased because our office is now on the first floor and we can collaborate easily while doing his construction business paperwork. Part 4 faces the wrong way but we will live with it.
