This is a great piece of furniture. It is a small desk but is a wonderful office piece. You may see comments that it is difficult to assemble. I thought this would mean it was poorly engineered, but NO. It has some flaws, but is well engineered and very well structured. It does require 2 hours because it has to be assembled. But it all fits well. A couple of hints. The instructions are all pictures so pay attention to details. I loved the packaging of pieces (shrink wrapped and with a few extras). Some negatives: some of the screws in the top will not be easy to set with electric screwdriver (a must!). But there are probably twice what is needed anyway. I had to call the manufacturer (who was great for support) because some holes were not predrilled. But this was on purpose and they suggested ways so make this easier (I suggest using deck screws to help show the position and pre-drill). One caution: the back is a piece of non-wood. If you plan to face the desk outward, that is not the best view.
