I like how this desk looks and feels but I will be honest I shed blood when putting the desk together, that's why I gave it 3 stars.  I like the desk, it is nice and solid but when I put the desk together you actually have to place some metal pegs inside the metal legs.  Well the metal legs were a hair wider than the pegs (which were attached to the top of the desk) so I had to squeeze the legs together slightly (now keep in mind the desk pieces are made of solid metal) well as I was placing the metal pegs inside the metal legs while squeezing the one leg slipped and when it did the metal corner gashed across my hand, cutting me pretty darn good. So essentially because the legs were a little wider than the spot they were required, I had to modify the bars and squeeze them until finally they fit on the metal pegs, which I was able to screw it.  So if the didn't bleed and have to struggle with the leg the desk would have 5 stars.
