The desk was straightforward to assemble and was packed really well. I put it together by myself in less than an hour.  Unlike a lot of the DIY furniture you can buy, I found that the screws and holes all lined up really well. The completed build feels really solid and looks fantastic. I ordered the oak finish. There were no scratches on the wood components at all and the metal pieces look nice with a powder coated finish. Again, no blemishes or markings on the metal pieces, either.

I left one of the included shelves out of my build due to the height of my PC tower. I knew that I'd have to do this prior to ordering as the measurements on the product listing were pretty clear about the space afforded.
