Let's call it somewhere between 2 and 3 stars. Put it together by myself - I would advise two people do it, otherwise it is a balancing act. The screws meant to add the slide out rails to the bars they hang from were too big. They would just start to thread and go no further. I tried with a handheld screwdriver and power screw driver; they would not budge. Fortunately, I have a pile of misc screws, and found four that fit. The directions - as quite a few people mention - are bad. Even if they would just provide larger diagrams, that would be more helpful. FYI, when assembling the bars for the keyboard drawer, the outer most holes are for the drawer, and the inner are for the glass. This is not immediately logical as the holes look very different. (Flat vs round indentation). Recommend that as you go, you leave screws only partly in, to help get everything square, then when fully assembled, go back and tighten everything up. It still won't make the perfectionist's eye happy, but it will save having to unscrew things completely when you are having trouble squaring things up. There are tiny impressions on the underside of the keyboard piece to align the screws. Those on mine were not aligned. Two screws went it straight and easily, and the other two did not align and thus the screws went in at a slight angle. The keyboard slides were very oily - watch out. The wood legs have scrapes/scuffs - I will be using a wood marker to touch up. Overall, I like how it looks. It isn't as squared up and level as I would prefer. It was a challenge to put together alone, and the directions took me a lot of studying. The glass is nice and heavy. Some of the Styrofoam in the packaging broke apart in transit into tiny tiny bits, this has made a mess outside the box and static-clinging to the desk and everywhere. I would say get it so long as you are prepared for some possible challenges and don't expect a perfectly squared up and level piece of furniture. And maybe have two people vs. one.As everyone has said, this is a nightmare to assemble even with two people. I thought to myself, it couldn't really be THAT hard with two people who have some decent experience with assembling furniture, but boy was I wrong. The wood legs need to be flexed in order to fit into the other pieces, which is why it requires two people, and even my husband had a hard time getting the wood to bend long enough for me to get the screws in. It's also very easy to assemble things backwards or upside down because the instructions are completely useless and half of the parts aren't labeled. We ordered two desks, and one set of legs on one of the desks was scuffed up on the bottom, deep enough that even a wood pen won't cover it up by much.But my biggest complaint is that the slide-out tray has a tendency to slide back in while I'm trying to type. It pulls halfway out on my desk, and then force is needed to pull it the rest of the way out because I guess it's bent or warped somewhere inside the mechanism, whereas my husband's desk tray pulls out smoothly but makes a wretched squeak and also slides back in during typing. It causes my shoulders to ache because I have to apply downwards pressure with my wrists to keep the tray from moving. And of course it's easier to grease up a sticky mechanism than to give a loose one more friction.The desks look nice in person, the wood stain is a nice cherry reddish color and other than the scuffed leg, they look just like the picture and we have plenty of space on the glass surface. But if you ever plan on moving or disassembling this desk, run far, far away. I have no idea how we'll ever move this outside of the room it was assembled in. I don't even want to think about it.The desk looks contemporary and nice in a home, unlike some other office-type furniture. Assembly is a bit challenging because the holes in the wooden legs and metal parts do not align 100%; a bit force is needed to make them align. Assembly is better done by two people.The attachment of the glass surfaces to the frame is the worst engineering I've seen. The silver metal mounts are glued to the glass and attached with screws to the metal frame. With the tension in the frame (see assembly comment above), the frame isn't quite as plumb and square as one might expect. Not only were some of these glass mounts already detached in the box, but others also popped loose upon assembly. I am surprised the resulting tension didn't shatter the glass. Now, the corner glass is only attached with one mount.I have another, older desk, where the structural integrity of the desk does not rely on the glass surfaces being mounted to the frame. Instead, the glass sits on suction cups. This provides for a wobble-free surface and flexibility for the glass, compared to the frame. Next time, I'll pay attention to these details.I've had this desk for a little over a month and I like it. It's big enough for my needs and small enough to fit in my room. I have not used the corner piece because the corner of my room isn't really a corner, more like a 2 food wide piece of wall reaching from one wall to the other. The desk holds up my 20 inch monitor, hoping to add another to that, and my BLUE Condenser mic; and on the other side, it's got my laptop and books.The quality of the desk is par. The glass seems pretty stable. I punched it once by accident after a horrible game of CS:GO.. Haha but I held up to my rage! The keyboard tray is weak as you'd expect. Just after normal use and leaning, it's starting to slide forward on its own which is a little annoying. I wish the keyboard tray at least were bigger to fit my mouse but since my mouse is on the glass, long periods of use can mean bad things for the wrist, that's if the mouse is close to the edge.Overall this is a good desk. This is the first corner desk I have owned and will own again. I will, however, spend some more money in the future to get a desk with outstanding quality.Pay very close attention to the instructions (something) I instinctively don't do, and it goes together easily. In my case I had to take much of it apart several times as I did not follow the very clear instructions and mixed up very similar looking pieces. My bad. But once it is together it is a solid, very nice looking desk. Highly recommend.The desk is terrific. It looks good and it is functional. Initially assembly looked like it would be reasonably simple. The individual fasteners were bagged and labeled with the corresponding letters to the schematic. unfortunately not every bag had the proper number of screws and the schematic was not as clear as it should have been. Amazon service and delivery was great.The desk wasn't the easiest to put together as things did not line up but all in all, it is a nice desk once assembled.wow! it took someone who puts things like this together for a living almost three hours to put this thing together. The thread on the screws is so short that it is almost impossible to properly attach the glass top. In fact one corner is left unattached because the tiny screw does not offer enough thread. It's pretty but if it wasn't such a hassle I would return it.Assembly instructions could be clearer. Reassembled the keyboard section 3 times without success so left it off.
