At the time of writing this review, I am only halfway through building this desk, but I just wanted to comment on how great it is so far.
I have had so many nightmare situations with "assembly required" furniture, this is not one of them. The instructions are well written in perfect, concise English with warnings about mistakes you might easily make. The diagrams are clear, no imagination needed to decipher them.
The desk has finished look on all sides, even the backs of the drawers and I am particularly impressed with the sturdiness of the drawer bottoms. I wouldn't store heavy tools on them or anything, but they would definitely be able to handle quite a bit of weight, and they look nice.
When I got the box I carefully inspected each piece for damage and followed the checklist to make sure everything is there. Not a single scratch or dent anywhere, and every screw is accounted for. There is even a bag of extra hardware in case I lose a thing or 2.
Strong work, Modern Designs!
I'll update once I finish putting it together, but so far I am impressed.
