I have never written a review for a piece of furniture I bought.... ever. I’m the type of person who flips through every review to ensure I’m buying something that’s high quality. But THIS DESK. I am over the moon with this purchase. First off, the assembly was easy. The top of the desk came fully in tact (with no blemishes) and so all I had to install were the legs. Secondly, this wood is gorgeous. I would definitely recommend this desk!
