this desk poorly designed. I thought it would work as a good desk with the grid in the back for cable/wire management but I cant even assemble the desk because the holes were not tapped and threaded correctly. The metal ends of each piece rub on the other parts scratching the heck out of them as you try to assemble it I put a towel between the parts before hand to try to prevent it but it really didn't help much. Its very irritating to have these issues after having fedex take two extra days to deliver it once it was out on the truck. Do yourself a favor and go to IKEA
