So, over the years I have put together or rebuilt anything from PCs to car engines to furniture. There is nothing more frustrating than when you go to connect 2 pieces of an item and the screw hole doesn't match or the threads are stripped, or the pieces won't go together without a gap or lined up. In todays world where companies have to save every penny they can to turn a profit, cheap build quality and sloppiness tend to be the norm. And if the poor build quality of todays product is not enough, how many times have you found build instructions that actually seem to be for the product you purchased, were written by someone that speaks your language, and actually follow the proper order of construction? Well, this Eureka desk is one of the few examples in this modern world that I can actually say I am impressed with. All the parts were present and there were even some spares included. Not only did the parts all match up, but it was obvious they actually thought ahead when designing the product, to make it easy to put together and even adjustable. I'll admit, i was a bit disappointed that the desktop was not one solid piece, but came in 3 pieces which obviously makes it much easier shippable/storable. Once put together my bias evaporated as this 3 piece desktop is exceptionally strong and fits together perfectly. The frame is very solid and the company did not skimp on any parts or the design. Putting the desk together was swift and easy and obviously well thought out. The desk comes with a stylish giant mouse pad type covering so you'll never see of feel the seams of the 3 pieces. All in all, very cool looking. This desk replaced a shorter desk and I don't know how I ever lived without all the extra length. You can find desks that are smaller and maybe half the price, but the quality of these other desks is usually non existent and you'll be unhappy with your purchase. Do yourself a favor, get a Eureka desk (and there are lots of styles) and it'll last forever. I plan on getting a second Eureka and moving my original short desk out to the garage.
