Straightforward assembly, although two of the six bolts just didn't mate the base with the stand. It's heavy and stable regardless; it'll stand up to daily use. Although the wood top is just fiberboard over a metal frame doing an illusory butcher block, that frame does the heavy lifting. The three-prong outlet with USBs underneath is a smart touch!

My husband is so happy with this desk!

Great desk, good quality. As advertised

Goes well with the loft details on our apartment. Love it! Solid piece with character.
