This was a solid purchase. I measured accordingly and the size of the desk was right on spec. It came together fairly easily, but I definitely could have used more room to assemble it. I would make sure to make available more than just the space you plan to set the desk up. The area of an average living or bedroom works be sufficient to empty the contents, lay everything out, organize, then finally get it put together. It probably took about an hour or so from cutting the box open to situating my monitors and filling the drawers. One of the features I was most excited about—the desktop outlets—have proven to be somewhat inconsistent for certain devices. I'm not sure if there's a short somewhere or what, but I've definitely had trouble charging a Windows tablets and had to actually unplug the charger from the outlet, flip the prongs around, as well and move to the adjacent plug before the charging would resume.
Outside of this issue I can't be more happy with the true surface area. I've got more than enough room and couldn't regret this purchase if I tried. As far as L-shaped desks I don't know where there's a better, more feature rich option available. For small spaces this is a lifesaver!
