It's good.... But there is a bar that crosses the middle underneath the desk that bangs my knees. Also rather than wooden plugs they supply plastic. I suspect if they had used wood plugs instead you wouldn't need the glue.
2 tubes of glue had already dried so no idea if it was useful or not. 

I like the desk, it is sturdy and good. Yes it took 2 hours to build but instructions were really straight forward. 

It was an expensive desk, and was concerned when building it that it was not sturdy, but once built it is solid
