I really like the design of this desk, and it is serving well, so far! There were multiple issues with assembly, however. Several wood parts arrived broken into pieces, requiring extensive repair. Finishing nails were sometimes too flimsy to be driven into hard wood boards. Keeping pieces aligned while driving unguided wood screws to connect them was sometimes challenging. Extra pieces that appeared to be for other products arrived in the shipping container. While I am happy with the result, so far, assembly was painful.
