I really like the desk. However, the writing surface was damaged and the screw hole for the knob that holds the black side piece in place was not deep enough. Therefore, when installing the black end piece the knob busted through the black piece. There was no way for me to know that the hold was not deep enough. I have filed a claim and received emails concerning replacement parts. However, I have now been told that they are on backorder, with an expected delivery date in September.
