This desk is very cute and I love it; I would give it 5 stars except once I got it all assembled (which was pretty easy for this single senior of small stature) and upright, I found that the top back left hand corner was crushed and broken.  I don't understand this, because it was very well packed, and the box was undamaged.  By then of course, I couldn't possibly take it apart and box it all up to return it.  The damage will just have to be part of it's "distressed" look.  It's a nice desk for my kitchen, the drawers provide ample space for desky things, it's sturdy and it's handsome.  I will enjoy using it, but my eye will always be drawn toward the damaged part.
