The desk has great organizing space, we love the open compartment for charging small electronics.
The paint wears off on the edges pretty easily which gives it a distressed look,it  does not look bad if you like that for your furniture. I assembled it by myself and it was not too difficult. After 2 weeks  I added a corner bracket on the back to stabilize the legs on the left side as this part moved out of its right angle when lightly hit by the chair or a foot. Awesome piece for the price.
