For the price I guess I can't complain. I knew I was not buying a sturdy solid wood piece. For the most part it went together easily. One issue was putting the corner piece on as if you do it upside down like the rest of the pieces you will not get it turned upright unless you have 4 people and even then it is likely to break at one of the points. and putting the corner piece on while under the table was awkward at best. There were also 2 bars that were next to impossible to put on and took longer than the rest of the desk to do. No matter which way you turned the bars or flipped them over or try them on the other side one end or the other did not want to line up well. In the end I found what seemed to work best and had to force the connection. Somewhat frustrating but the instructions (except for the two bars) were easy to follow. The edges mark up easy and the finish does not appear that it will last very long but we'll see. For what I needed I think it will work.
I like it. Modern sleek looking with plenty of room. My only complaint is the writing surface. It is not smooth and is annoying writing on a single sheet of paper. You have to put something under the paper to write. Overall good desk and I have had complements on it.
LOVE this product. I actually purchased two of them and they are working perfectly in my space. Sturdy enough easy assembly and looks professional enough for my office space.
