This desk is absolutely beautiful. However, it is about two years old now and it has not aged well. The drawers and shelves were always stiff and  slightly misaligned. Any area that’s gets frequent use or friction has chipped, or is wearing away on the surface, leaving flecks of white on the “wood” surface. The front in particular has a lot of minor superficial damage as seen in photos. We purchased this desk when it was a few hundred dollars cheaper, at its current price I would not recommend it due to the cheap quality of the material and how poorly it wears.
