I was not sure what to expect on these given some of the poor reviews. The reports of needing to drill holes that were not present kind of worried me. The price point hit where I wanted to be, as these were not going to be meeting room show pieces, rather just using them as desks in my office to replace an OLD, really cheap desk I have had for over 20 years. I bought 2 of them to replace this old L-shaped deskThe shipment came without issue, other than the boxes are large and decently heavy. I am a pretty big guy so could carry them around if I was careful, but I would highly recommend planning for 2 people so you don't hurt yourself.The assembly process went very well. The instruction have no real wording on the, just the typical Ikea-style pictures. That said, if you really look at them, and more importantly look closely at the orientation of each piece in the drawing, they were easy to follow. I got going too fast and had one piece flipped around, so had to fix that, otherwise I, too, would have had to have drilled a new hole.... I did the assembly alone, and took approximately 35 minutes. All the pieces fit perfect, and the table feels reasonably sturdy. I wouldn't climb on it and jump up and down, but it seems like a decent table that is fit for my purpose as a desk holding (2) 43" monitors.. This is especially true given the price point.IMHO, theses table are punching well above their price point. Honestly, this was probably one of the first purchases of a lower-cost China manufactured item that I wasn't shaking my head on somewhere in the process due to my perception of the lack of quality. Again, NOT a showpiece, NOT real wood, but a good, low-cost option if that is what you are looking for.
