I've had this desk for about 3-4 months and can finally review.
1. Putting it together- It's so satisfying. It's like trying to solve a very easy puzzle. Love that I didn't have to drill or turn a screw.
2. Finding the right placement- it took me about 3 different configurations to finally settle on what I was most comfortable with. It's not super easy to go from writing to standing mode so I opted for standing- takes 5- 10 mins to change.
3. Wear/ Maintenance- So far the Onyx color is easy to see marks and handprints. I constantly wipe down surfaces, which is ironic since it's black, but it's fine since I like the asthetic. I can see this desk moving with me over time. It forces me to not stockpile office supplies on my desk- that being said I would love if it had a some type of space to place all the pens and sticky notes.
