I bought this Double Pedestal Writing Desk for my workshop room after I'd been using a plastic table for many years that eventually got a sink in the middle. The desk seems pretty sturdy and the four shelves are pretty great for storage. Delivery was quick and it came with little to no bumps or bruises.   The assembly, however, was a bit of a task. While it took me about an hour to assemble on my own, the major issue is the holes for the screws, which were not drilled deep enough to accommodate the hardware it came with. Thankfully, I have a toolkit with a drill bit that was able to make the holes deeper. Some screws are not tightened completely, as I had to screw the last few turns by hand. I'd suggest anyone who is going to buy this piece to have a drill bit on hand, otherwise, it may take you quite a while to get those screws in.
