I built this desk all by myself and I had no problems! It’s super spacious, when I study, I need ALL the room I can get! I absolutely love the drawers and I have so many of my pens/pencils/whiteout/sticky notes/etc. Stuffed away and out of sight! I Absolutely LOVE! This desk! I bought it as a reward for getting into my top pick for internships! (Ignore the mess, I was getting everything situated haha)First complaint was the the drawers did not close flush. I had to drill a couple holes and re mount the sliders. There were spaces in the roller arms for new holes, so it wasn't a bid deal for me.Second complaint is the the Chinese just don't understand that Americans like finish work. We like a polished look. These guys continue to use a non-water soluble glue and cheap paper part labels. I took just as much time scraping off label remnants, dissolving the leftover glue with WD-40 and then using soapy water to get rid of the WD-40 stink.The desk assembled easily, the parts from these people seem to be getting better. Still, their hardware is not up to the precision of US manufactured products.For the price, the desk is a winner. With a few pieces of attention to detail it could be stellar.My boyfriend gave it an 8/10, 10 being very easy to assemble. One of the pieces had a scratch, but you can't see it because it's inside the drawer. It's about 47 inches wide and not as bulky as I feared it would be.Great desk, worth its price. The drawers underneath get in the way in my opinion. I’m tall-ish at 6ft tall and have to lower my so the arm rests can fit. The drawers are a bit flimsy, but I fixed that with some hardware I had laying around. Overall the shelving, size and finish are great. Can’t complain about the quality for what it’s worth.This is a great desk for the price. It is pretty sturdy and perfect for small spaces! It’s strange because it doesn’t take up too much space, yet there is so much room on the desk to work. I love the drawers. My only complaints are that I felt it could be packaged up a bit better, and I question how long it would last for children due to the nature of its assembly. However, for the price you cannot go wrong! Perfect for students.A good value for the money. My husband uses it for a study desk and loves it.Despite the time consuming aspect. The drawers being slightly slanted is the only negative I have with this desk. Buy it! Lives up to the hype
