This desk was very time consuming to assemble and comes with many, many pieces.  Once together it looks alright, but wish I would have spent more and got a higher quality desk.  You can see the unfinished side of pieces when assembled (and it is tightened up as much as possible) that make it look cheap and I had to use some dark craft paint to darken some areas so it was not so noticeable.  It will work for the meantime, but not something I will keep forever.
