I am very happy with this purchase.  I ordered both types of desks and a lateral file.  They are exactly as pictured and very high quality compared to similar types of furniture I've purchased in the past.  They were also extremely easy to put together.  The instructions & components are designed to make the building process easy.  The components are sealed in a connected line of pouches in order by the step.  For each step (instead of looking for which lettered piece to use and matching it up with the picture, etc.), you just open the pouch and the exact pieces in the correct quantity are provided for you.  All spare pieces are contained in a separate pouch, so there is no confusion. (e.g. If 6 screws are in step 3, then 6 screws will be in the bag.)  The system for building was easy to follow and efficiently organized.  And, most importantly, the desk looks great!
