This desk is very well made and very easy to put together. My 73 year old mother and I put it together as a surprise for my husband to replace the old heavy particle board desk he had in his home office. He needed an L-shaped desk to hold his 2 laptop computers and his computer monitor. He absolutely loves it the looks and functionality of it. He is an IT professional and works from home at least 3 days a week so it is a desk that gets a lot of use. He uses the keyboard tray to hold pens/paper pads, etc. We did not need the CPU stand but it is nice that it is in there in case someone does.
