This desk has a lot of working space area. If you like to spread your things all over the table, this is the right choice for you. It took me a certain amount of time to assemble the desk, but it it not that complicated. I was just trying to figure out the parts and which screw to use. I did make a mistake when assembly the middle shelf. One of the white sides is facing the front while the other is facing the back wall, oops. So, pay attention to it! I guess this is why I am not giving it a five-stars rate. Other than that, go for it.
