The arrival was swift, it arrived the earliest day out of the estimated time-frame.It was packaged with a lot of Styrofoam. The hardware baggies were labled, and it was boxed very compactly.The actual assembly was painful, literally and figuratively. The instructions are nearly entirely visual when prompts about future steps would clear up some headaches. The two shelf sides that act as the legs have a specific orientation, but if you're not paying close attention, you might put them on backwards, turn the desk over, just to realize you have to turn it back upside down so you can remove, rotate, and rescrew them in. Even a little "Ensure screw holes on legs are facing towards the back for future steps" would have done the trick.I also cut my thumb on the keyboard drawer rails, the metal was just sharp enough to when I extended them to put the drawer together, I ended up cutting myself. Maybe I should be more aggitated by this, but my hands get beat up at work anyways.Another issue was the monitor shelf, the holes didnt seem to line up well at all. I had to put a lot of effort to get the screws in, and thought the desk might break or look off by the end of me forcing it to go together with this problem. However, it looks fine and is sturdy.By the end of it though, I was pleased at the sturdiness and the desk space. The quality is apparent when it comes to the wood itself, though the height could be better. I'm average height and if I lay my foot on my knee I brush the keyboard drawer.All in all, a good and affordable desk. Just not fun to put together, but once you do it is really nice.I love this desk! I was looking for something study to hold the standing desk frame I already had. This desk fit the bill. Perfect size, beautiful white, easy to assemble. I couldn’t be happier!!!!Assembly and instructions were good but could be improved. Noting the placement of the cross-brace holes when attaching the stands to the desktop would have saved me some rework. The fit of the parts and the alignment of the holes and inserts was amazing. Truly workmanship to be proud of. Unfortunately one of the brackets holding the keyboard tray to the desk top did not have holes drilled. I put it to the back so it should still work. Well done on including an extra fastener of each type!Got this for my son to have room for both school and gaming. It works great! Wasn’t hard to assemble and holds up under 2 large monitors, a 13 year old boy, and his playful dog running around it.It came in less than a week and was pretty easy to assemble. It's lightweight but feels nice. It's the perfect size for my 2 monitor set up. I would definitely recommend this deskThis desk was easy to assemble with the clear and easy to follow instructions included, it’s sturdy and strong, and it’s very spacious. My only gripe is that the small screw for the crossbars was missing. There were some extra screws, but not the one and only tiny screw for the bars. It’s a good thing it’s really not needed for the desk to work. Good desk though.I put this together myself. It was fairly easy. The only difficulty was the sliding tray for keyboard. Hard to get at the screws to tighten since it was an awkward positioning.I bought this desk because I game with two monitors but I also like to do art stuff at my desk and occasionally eat. so the keyboard and mouse tucked underneath, I can do whatever I need on the main desk and my monitors are propped up on the top little tier. I liked it so much I got a second one for my SO. I wrapped the shelves in White marble contact paper and it made it look super fancy. I store my makeup and one of the bass speakers on the shelf it's perfectly out of the way. love this desk!
