We got this desk in early December 2016 and like it a lot. Feels sturdy, looks great, although I wish there was a bit more storage space. Drawers don't fit a whole lot of stuff and notably, the side drawers are too small to fit US letter paper. The drawers are a bit narrower and a bit longer, like the A4 paper size. You can fit some letter-sized paper in the middle drawer, but not much, since it's shallow. It took 1 person just under 3 hours to assemble, with another person helping here and there to lift the desk etc. Instructions are clear and well-written, but one step is omitted. At step 5, you need to also insert 5 cam screws in the rear side, underneath the surface, and then you need to use the cam locks on the back panel, to put them in place (this is not mentioned in the instructions). Otherwise there will be a gap between the top of the desk and the back panel. We noticed this later and had to remove the top to complete this step, which added more time to assembly. Probably could have been done in closer to 2 hours.
