While the desk is sturdy and built well, the quality of the materials is just okay.  For example, it does not appear to be made of real wood. Rather, it appears to be cork covered with a wood-like laminate, which I guess is to be expected at the price point A disclosure would have been nice though. I was also disappointed by the color, as the wood is much lighter than the picture shows. That being said, the desk has a very functional layout that is perfect for a small space and the style is quite pleasing to the eye overall. Although I measured it out, I do wish the hatch was a bit taller, so that it can accommodate two monitors more comfortably.
