It's a nice desk for the price.  Took a little longer than expected to put together, but it wasn't difficult.  Once we got it together only one side was rising so I was worried it was defective.  It ended up being the metal piece  that spins to raise the sides, the one side was not connected correctly.  I was very happy I was able to figure it out.   The only thing that was disappointing was that the top comes in two pieces so it has a seem in it.  I saw another desk similar to this one and the seam was obvious in the pictures and the reviews mentioned it.  I specifically bought this one thinking it did not have the seam, but it does.  You can't see it as much unless you are close to it.  Overall it is a nice desk that has a keyboard drawer built into it and my husband is pleased with the desk.
