First of all, its the perfect size and shape for what I need. As much of a pain as it was to put together, Im (mostly) happy with the product.
I put it together alone and Id definitely recommend you have some assistance as I found it quite difficult to hold some pieces in place while simultaneously trying to screw them together, especially at odd angles. The biggest issue I ran into was the bottom shelf. No matter how I moved it, the holes for screws do not match up with the holes on the board. I tried for a good 45 minutes to get it on any which way before I heard cracking in the boards and gave up. I finished the desk without adding the shelf.
I love the desk itself and the rest of it went together as intended, the ordeal with the shelf was incredibly frustrating though.
My old nemesis; misaligned screw holes.
