The desk seemed a bit pricey at first, but it ended up definitely being worth the purchase. I'm very petite but I was able to assemble this very easily. The top board was surprisingly thick. It's very sturdy and large enough for me to place two 27" monitors and my computer on top. There is no pull out keyboard tray, so I don't know why they have that in the description, but there's plenty of room to put your keyboard on the desk. I ran into some issues with the handles, as they seemed to have gotten lost during shipping. Their customer service was very quick about sending replacement parts.

Stating the most common obvious, the instructions weren't 100% clear. I put this together with my husband so having two people makes it easier. To assemble the drawer cabinet onto the metal, you'll want two people. There were a few tiny scratches on the boards, but they're facing inside so you can't see them. Overall, I was surprised by the sturdiness of the desk and the materials seem to be good. It even comes with wood glue to make sure things really stay together. I think I'll enjoy this desk for awhile.

The directions were a bit confusing, so make sure you're paying attention to what you're doing. Otherwise, it's not all that difficult to put together. 2 people can put it together in about an hour or so. I noticed a small crack on the table top when I opened the box, thinking it wasn't too noticeable, I decided to still put it together. Now that it's together, I'm really disappointed my desk has about 3 damages on the top of it. If it weren't for all the time spent putting it together, then knowing I'd have to take it back apart, stick it back in the box and go through the hassle of returning it, I would have. Oh well. Just make sure you REALLY check over things for damages before putting it all together.

This desk is a great size to have a monitor on and also a laptop and piece of paper in front of you. When buying this desk I was worried it might be a little big but I was wrong, it is the perfect size if you have room for it. I can't imagine having a smaller desk. My dad was able to put it together in 1.5 hours. The drawers were a little more shallow than I was hoping for but that was the only thing I would change. Another difficulty you might have is finding other furniture with the same coloring. I found that gray wood pieces or driftwood pieces match this desk.

I’ve actually ordered two of these (one was damaged in a move but I liked it so much I replaced it with the same desk). The first one actually had damage out of the box (one of the corners was chipped) but it was too much work to return it so I just covered it up. The desk is great looking, pretty easy (not the easiest ever, but easy enough), and very sturdy/functional. The color selection is great, although I prefer the natural wood look. I would highly recommend this desk to anyone who has a PC tower on their desk because the drawers on the right side mean that you sit off center so it looks nice and symmetrical when the monitor is centered on the seating position, rather than the true center of the desk.

This is extremely sturdy wood and is a huge upgrade from my old plasticky desk. However, it did come missing pieces that were needed to construct the drawers (bought Used-Like New so I would assume it came with parts) so I did knock off a star, and will try to contact them to get the parts. So far I've been using it without the drawers and it's still been plenty of space.

This desk exceeded my expectations - it is a great size, I was worried it would be small but it's large enough to fit everything I need (Laptop, 2nd screen, and a printer if needed, along with enough space for writing and working). The color is true to the picture and looks great with dark wood or white. I'd recommend this desk to anyone!
