The desk has proven to be an excellent purchase. I'm an engineering student and having a dual monitor setup along with plenty of work space for books/laptop/tablet is not an issue on this desk. I was somewhat worried about the arrival condition because some had mentioned shipping issues. My box came packed extremely well and the contents were laid out nicely with styrofoam inserts to protect them from moving. It was easy to assemble on my own some parts were a bit heavy but to me that's a good thing as the desk feels extremely sturdy. Couldn't be happier...
