Tribesigns 55" Computer Desk

I'm always leery about buying furniture made from particle board. I've had too many experiences in the past with the stuff only lasting a couple of years before it turns to utter garbage. I get the feeling that won't be the case with this desk. The coating on the particle board is actually quite nice and durable...I did not expect that. The metal framing is solid and sturdy when put together. It is a modular design so it's not going to support 500 pounds of weight, but it does just fine with my office setup. It has the right amount of desktop space and legroom I was looking for. It went together easily enough, but I did have to use my brain a few times when putting it together because it's easy to get the screws mixed up (there are 3 types that all look the same but have different lengths). I didn't realized I used one in a wrong spot until I was putting on the very last piece and things weren't working correctly. Oh well. The instructions suggested not using a drill as the desk came with an Allen wrench and a screw driver. I would strongly suggest that if you have a hand held ratcheting screwdriver to use that. It saved me way more time. If you don't have one but want to consider buying one, they're fairly cheap and well worth the investment (I'm not cross promoting, just offering up useful tips).
