It was a little troublesome in the beginning to screw in some of the smaller screws because they kept going in crooked and also the screwdriver was too large to screw in the pull out desk to the underside part of the desk. But other than the construction, once all of that is done I really do like the feel of this desk. It seems sturdy, the finishing is quite beautiful and the price is not bad. It's very simple bu there is ample space. Overall I like it!
