Assembly was not that hard, it was when it came to putting the top part on where it began to be a bit difficult. The holes was not properly aligned, so I had to "create a hole" and it tumbled from there. I am not satisfied but I cannot return it or get a refund, So i guess I am stuck with a flimsy piece of product and hope for the best.My son love this desk, it has an professional quality look to it.Space is great, if you take your time, it easy to built.Nice value product. I would not recommend for daily use or for kids as there is a small metal pice supporting the two boards on top. Light pressure will break it.Great desk. I don't leave reviews often, but am starting to with this product.it will take some assembly, and you will need a power drill to make 8 holes total. Don't worry, you won't need to know how to. I've never even used power tools before this. They also line up the screws for you, and you just need to power drill them in.Once everything is together though, it works great.One thing to consider though: There's not enough space to clamp anything onto the back (I measured about 2 inches). It does come with a pre-installed grommet though. I had to drill 2 small holes for a grommet mount for the triple monitor setup, as well as a grommet drill bit to make more holes in the future as I plan to attach more things in the future that don't come with grommet base mounts.I'll say it from the beginning, the end result of this Desk is great and I'm happy with it. The reason that I deducted stars is because the building process was very frustrating. Several of the pieces lacked the holes that the instruction manual said should be there. The holes that were there were oversized, and the pegs and locking nuts constantly fell out while I was assembling the desk. On one of the side pieces, I even discovered that there was a hole where it was supposed to be, but that they had covered it with the paper-material that gives it the "slate" look. I had to punch through the paper with a screwdriver to get at the hole. It's also annoying that they have you glue all the pegs in the holes. I suppose that this is meant to overcome the fact that the pegs sit loosely in the holes. I've built several desks from several manufacturers and I've never encountered one that was setup so poorly.With that said, if you're willing to drill a few of your own holes, and you have the patience to glue in pieces that don't fit just right, then this ends up being a nice desk. The top is surprisingly nice, and I think that the end result is nicer than the stuff made by companies like Ameriwood. If they improved their manufacturing process, this would easily be a 5-star desk. So if you buy one of these, just be prepared for a less than stellar building process, and be willing to improvise a bit to get it right.Building this desk wasn't as daunting as some of the other reviews made it sound. You'll definitely want a large bit of open space to manipulate the parts as they come together, but thats the same for any furniture.The desk did have one of the peg holes mangled, but it has literally had zero effect on the build or use of the desk.I would like to see the corner a bit more reinforced, but it doesn't feel flimsy or weak. Its trustworthy for sure.The only thing I could see as an improvment would it being just a touch wider on the working surface. Currently with my AOC monitor and Corsair keyboard there is maybe an inch of space left, leaving practically no room for a wrist rest or the likes. Mounting the monitor on a VESA would solve this however.Tons of space under the desk, I've got my subwoofer a set of shelve and my Lian-Li PC case all cleanly tucked away with plenty of leg room to spare.Now the main reason I went this route was the fact that almost all other corner desks are insanely over priced or feature some set of legs that would ruin any under-desk storage. Frankly at this price I think this thing is a steal.This table is exactly what I needed. It's big enough to handle my large 17" laptop, the 27" monitor and the 13" MacBook. I didn't have any problems assembling the table. All parts did fit each other, no any scratches, the instructions was more than clear, I used my own screwdrivers only to assemble the table. It took maybe 40 minutes to get this table done including the unpacking. Yes this table doesn't have any drawers or any under the desk storage, but it was not a problem as I has the shelves where I put my external hard drives and the USB hub. But instead of those under the table storage I got a lot of space, and it's very comfortable to switch between my consoles, I always have a plenty of room for my legs. I had a doubts about the table depth, but it's 18" and it's enough even for my large laptop. The table has the cable organizer in its corner, and no any cables are being placed upon the desk except those cables I used to plug and unplug frequently. I can recommend this table to those people who need to have a lot of space on the desk for the affordable priceI needed something that I could set up two different computers systems up, one personal (23" all in one) and one work (two 19" widescreens and a laptop in a small home office. Overall this desk is very nice for the price. I deducted one star not for the desk but the horrible packing job. There was damage on three corners because it is just in a cardboard box with very little to protect it from drops. I was able to repair the damage and it really doesn't show so it wasn't worth shipping it back for a replacement. Being it is an item that is usually shipped this should be considered. Also be careful putting it together and try to build it in it's final resting place. It took me (alone) about 40 minutes to assemble, the instructions were very easy to follow with clear pictures. I have attached a couple of pictures of it set up. Please excuse all the wires as I haven't installed the racetrack yet.This is a good and sturdy desk, a bit narrow but manageable. Assembly was a little complicated as I didn't receive a manual with the shipment, but it was easy to find and download off their site just by googling the modle (note the manual might have the 4&5 parts flipped, this may have been corrected by now as this was in January 2019), aside from that manual error the assembly was easy. I use this computer desk mainly for gaming and have had to make a few adjustments to my original plan due to its narrowness, however it can still fit my 2 monitors (22" & 24") and laptop easily with additional hardware/items.All in all a good desk for the price!Desk top is a bit narrow.easy to assemble, does not occupy much spaceGood Cheap DeskPretty nice and solid table. Took a while to assemble
