I am currently putting it together. There are instructions that are pretty easy to follow but the problem comes in when assembling the x brackets and which side to put the arm. There are screw holes everywhere and unless it specifically shows (picture instructions, nothing is written) where certain screws go you are left to try to figure out out. I am nearly done with the base and was about to put the long x bracket on the back. That is when I realized my mistake. Well, I can easily fix it depending on which side I want the arm. If I want it on the side I, well, want it Ill have to take it all apart and start all over. Is it worth it? I dont know! To be fair Im disabled and only have any real use of one hand so that shows how easily it goes together, but it wasnt that easy for me. My advice would be to look over the instructions until youre absolutely sure youve got it. Will update later...
Update: Okay so I wound up taking certain pieces apart and turning them around. Once I understood how it would go together it wasnt that hard. There are screw holes for the x brackets that are not shown in the instructions. Even when on that page or doesnt point out thats what those are for, you just sort of figure out out at that point. But now that its done its very nice and very sturdy. Only complaint is that the two tops dont completely butt up to each other and there is a slight gap on one end. I just put the printer over it so its not too bad. Hopefully just the one I got.
Over all I like it. There was a coupon so I got it for about $100. I ordered the 47 desk and have ample room for my 17 computer and printer but not for anything else long ways. The arm is a nice touch but doesnt really add a whole lot. I put a small flip calendar and electric candle wax melter on it and it looks nice. Any more would look cluttered. The shelves underneath are a huge bonus. I put reams of paper on the bottom and on the middle a small 3 drawer organizer and a few other office supplies. Its cute, organized and sturdy. I have pa-lenty of leg room! Over all this is a win win. Only had to put it together once (and a half) and looks like it will last a long time. I would definitely recommend! Just carefully, carefully look at the desk pieces and the pictures in the instructions. Maybe even put them next to each other before assembling.
Could use better instructions
