I'm going to break this into several parts: 1) The manual with the steps for the assembly lacks some details and steps, and although they can be deduced, one never has to wait for the client to deduce them. 2) The assembly of the drawer guides is quite poor: although the wood has two marks where one has to screw the guide, the guide itself has a margin of movement of 3 or 4 mm which makes it impossible to fit everything 100% aligned which affects the final aesthetics and the sliding of the drawer. This can be easily solved by adding marks with a sticker or whatever, so that people are not only guided by the screw hole but also by the distance that there has to be between the guide and the end of the wood. 3) The holes for the drawer guide screws should be 1mm deeper to avoid having to force the screw in and increase the chances of someone getting hurt. I understand that the more pre-made the hole is, the worse the grip of the screw will be, but they have to find a solution. (A small hammer can be used, although you can't expect all customers to have one either) 4) The feet should be made of rubber and not plastic to prevent slipping. 5) It's a shame about the wasted space left between the end of the drawers and the end of the cabinet in question, but there could be a version of it with deeper drawers. 5) This is more my mistake but a small warning for others, the cabinet does not have the possibility of installing a monitor support on the back since they all snap on the edge of it and this one does not . Conclusion: I recommend the product if you can buy it on sale (€116 in my case) and if you have some experience with assembling furniture.

Customer reviews
The desk has a good design and is optimally packed. Fast delivery. The only aspect that leads me not to give 5 stars is the drawer guides. They have a system that is based on a mechanism with bearing balls that makes the drawer slide which is really precarious. So much so that one of these has lost all the balls. You can still use it, but furniture from a well-known Swedish chain has a much more efficient mechanism. Another small detail there are three holes on the panel with the relative screws that are useless ....
So the problem was although looks beautiful. The brackets of the drawers were badly made and the drawers were not sliding in and out so my husband had to go buy new brackets to replace it. Was not ideal to be honest.
