Great product with a great price tag (oh! and PRIME!)
I've attached some pictures.
I'm writing from this desk right now. My 27 inch Mac fits nicely on the top. It's sturdy enough to hold it on the stand, leaving me plenty of room for writing and typing. I really like that this desk is on casters and can be moved around so I'm not limited to a specific room. I currently have it in my living room, but should company come over, I'd really like to move this item out of here for a more formal setting.
This item came pretty well packaged and took under an hour to assemble by myself. (I'm a 5'2" female who is mildly handy). The most challenging part of the assembly was really found in the first few steps - connecting the two metal side panels together using a small piece of wood (four screws). It was just awkward without someone to hold it level, so if you have someone to help with that it's easier. If not, get creative. I used pillows from my couch to prop up one end as I bound the two. The rest was very easy.
All of the tools needed to assemble are included in the package (a screwdriver and a small metal wrench). Other reviewers said that some items were missing and that the holes were not in the right spots, but this was not the case for me at all. In fact, there was a bag with extra set of each screw. All of the holes lined up perfectly and most of the coated particle board pieces had metal reinforced, pre-drilled holes which gave me a confidence that I didn't have prior. I only needed a bit of elbow grease and patience when screwing in the casters (for the slide out keyboard stand). This keyboard stand is very nice and pretty darn sturdy. I am comfortable to lean my wrists on it while typing and I do not feel that it has much give when I did.
The graphite color is not solid, it's more of speckled up close but looks like a dark-gray from afar.
The bottom shelf is sturdy and holds my printer/scanner combo very well, providing me enough room to raise the lid to scan.
Overall, I am really pleased with this purchase. The price tag makes it all the better and then add Prime shipping. Wow. Take your time with the directions, use some basic logic, and you'll be fine.
