I too had issues with the drawers however, I realized that I missed a step that clearly shows which holes to place the screws for the brackets. This correction made all the difference. It is sturdy and has a great modern look.Love the desk sooo much. Easy to assemble wise I give it a 4/5.. while directions do what they should they aren’t so easy to understand at first. All in all I give the desk a 10/10. can’t beat the priceThe desk was pretty easy to put together. Just follow the instructions. I did put one of the sliding rails upside down, but it was way to fix once I realized what I had done. Pretty sturdy. Love the drawer spaceHave a small NYC apartment. Does the job in a tight space for couple hours work three days a weekIf you have the patience for working with lots of small pieces then you will be fine putting it together. You can hire a high school student to do it too. Once it was put together it was amazing. Sturdy, sleek, plenty of room and just enough storage.This product was very easy to assemble, the instructions was very clear, the desk itself is very sturdy but the only downside with the desk is the cabinets, the cabinets for me came in crokked it was not due to the instructions, it was because the front part of the cabinet the wood came in tilted, this was for both cabinets.I ordered this desk for my daughter's room. The desk looks better in person than in the pictures. Very sturdy and a nice size desk area for small spaces. The drawers are a nice depth for storage. They easily fit a notebook laying flat inside. Overall we are very pleased with the desk.I gave this 4 stars because there were some cracks in the pieces that are not visible after assembly and the top piece has a chip on the edge of the area that butts up to the wall. It looks very nice, is sturdy and the drawers fit and operate nicely.
