Look I have owned or used in various settings desks from $150 - $7,500. This one hand down is my favorite design, and of those I assembled the absolute easiest. It took 45 minutes to assemble. A second set of hands will help moving it to the room you plan to build it. Beyond that so long as you can lift ~50lbs it is a solo job.Alright the desk itself is sturdy. No wobble. The desktop is solid. Currently supporting a full tower ~50lb gaming tower + ~45lbs in other accessories. No issues.As for assembly. Super simple. 2 different sets of screws. One for the desk and the other for assembly of backboards/shelves. I had zero issues with any screws threading perfectly.This hid every single cable I had. I shoved the 16-slot surge protector into the cable hider and all my other cables. No issues. Very clean and easy to have what looks like a 100% professional cable management. I only have two cables entering the desk. One for the surge protector and one for my cable modem.I have tried budget desks of similar appearance. With a backboard. Yea. Not comparable. The build quality of this desk and the fit of everything left no worries it would support my PC and 34in ultra-wide monitor.The pictures also do not do it justice. The fit of this desk is top tier. A lot of similar desks, they look good in pictures. They look like they fit together snug and with zero tolerance issues or gaps. This desk doesn't just look that way in pictures. It is truly well designed and has no gaps or assembly issues. Also, the design ensures it is a stable platform. There is not going to be a wobble to this desk. There will be no issues placing a 50lb full tower gaming PC on one corner with unbalancing it. You're not going to bump the desk and have a wobble. Which seems like it should be the norm right? Well, it isn't. Normally I have only seen this kind of stability with professional metal office desks, or solid wood desks.Alright let's talk durability. This desk has the durability I would expect in an office grade product, not a consumer grade product. Thicker metal. Heavier and solid top. If I had to describe it, it is like the difference between a $100 "office chair" from staples vs a $1500 Hayworth or Steelcase professional company office chair.------------Look this desk is a steal at the price. You can try something that looks similar in pictures, and I promise you will not get the same satisfaction. Don't waste money buying a cheaper desk with low quality materials and assembly. For the price they are charging here, this is the best bang for your buck in a gaming desk. Heck the assembly being so dam easy is worth the extra cost by itself. I have NEVER bought furniture this easy to put together. Even a novice with zero experience who normally would hire someone to put furniture together could assemble this desk. The only part that really needs two people is getting the entire box into the room you want to build it. Even then, you can just open it and carry the parts Separately so long as you can lift ~50lbs for the heaviest piece the desktop itself.--------------Anyway, of all the products I have bought on amazon in ~15 years, this is one is definitely in my top 3 for after purchase satisfaction. The funny part is I had it in my "wish list" for over a year before finally deciding to purchase, I was on the fence for so long because I was waiting for more reviews, I normally get products with MANY reviews. Well, more reviews never came, which is why I am posting today. This desks and company deserve more notice.
