This is a nice desk for the money; retro style 1970's.  The packaging could be hardier to protect the chrome.  I hope Wayfair will bring this to the manufacturer's attention.  Initial package with some damage to the chrome pieces, but Wayfair resolved the issue within one week.  The black desktop is high gloss.  Plenty of space for a laptop, monitor risers, a hub and 2 monitors.  There is no built in maintenance for cords; there are no holes in the desktop for maintenance of cords.  I believe this could do double duty as a writing desk or desk for laptop and a dining room table - - if you are trying to minimize on using space.  It is a generously sized desk at 5 feet by 30 inches.  Some desks run 4 feet by 24 inches.  Just heard a colleague complain today about 24 inch deep desk.
