This desk looks very good in my office. The glass doesn't line up like I want, but I am not sure if it's user error or manufacturer error. It is very sturdy and was simple to put together. The parts do look similar, but are NOT mirror images of one another -- pay attention to the pictures (you don't get any words, so be prepared for a lot of arrows and and part numbers). The instructions say there are only four steps, but that's because they lump several steps in one. Also, the keyboard holes do not line up with the tray. You will have to create your own. This is a nice, functional, eye-catching piece of furniture. I enjoy having the space to spread out in either direction and work. Because of the design, it does not look bulky in the room, despite its size. I am happy with this purchase.
