The desk is very nice and sturdy! The directions are horrible!!! Still it is a great desk for the price. It's a nice width and the 55-inch length offers a nice work space for two laptops and few reference books.

If you build it, take your time and don't tighten any screws until you are sure they are in the right locations. assembly is very tricky, but not impossible. build the frame first and attach the top last. Be sure to pay attention to where holes line up and make sure the shelves are on the side you want before you tighten anything!
