Good Quality Desk
I bought this desk and had it delivered to my house. No problems there. Assembling the desk was kind of confusing, as the directions seem to leave some details out (like what direction the finished edge of the board on the back faces), but I got it pretty simply.

If you need surface space...
..then get this desk.
I kept coming back to the desk after searching for other l-shaped desks online for a couple weeks and when the price dropped I no longer had an excuse to not get it. What I really wanted in an l-shaped desk was one without two darn extra legs at the center and this was one of very few desks that offered it and at a good price. I have two iMacs (27" & 21") and a Cintiq (21") sitting on this thing with plenty space for a fourth screen...could maybe fit five.
Assembly: First off, I picked this up at the store. The box is almost a perfect square, is awkward and just heavy enough for it to be impossible for most to carry into their house alone. I have an SUV and just opened the box and took the parts in from the trunk... Like others have stated, do not tighten everything until the end. Yes, the instructions are kind of difficult as maybe two items out of everything are actually labeled. But, seriously, there aren't that many screws and I was able to go by picture alone quite easily (pay attention to holes). Tip: after assembling the center section work from the outside in, ie, attach the backboards to the outer legs first.
The only thing that was actually annoying about this desk was lining up the glass (oh, and that Allen wrench, I swear it has legs...keep it on a leash). At some points it felt like wrestling an octopus. Also, this is probably the one section you might want to tighten, as you really don't want the bars that hold the suction cups to roll on you.
Watch out: the keyboard tray edges are sharp! Never lift this from the glass (no, I didn't try this, but it just makes sense =) )!

Great for Home Office
I purchased this desk since I am working from home.
My favorite features are the size - I have a laptop, extra monitor, lots of files, and phone system spread out across the desk. I removed the keyboard tray since it wasn't needed.
It was easy to assemble - my husband did it by himself. It is heavy and you might need help getting it from car to inside - or as suggested, take apart in car/garage and move peices inside.
The two negatives of the desk is that a laser mouse does not work well on the glass -- I keep the mouse on the corner/solid peice. Also, since it's winter right now, the glass is cold (even wearing long sleeves#. I tuck a space heater under the desk and it warms up the glass. This won't be a problem in the summer.
I shopped around and found this desk first in the store. I tried it out #in the store) with different chairs. A few weeks later I made the purchase online with option to pick up in store - saving on shipping. I've used this method for a few other items from Office Depot too.
