Gorgeous piece! I bought it together with the smaller etagere bookshelf, and I love the way they look in my house. This desk is solid & well-crafted, and I can't wait to put it to use as both a vanity & a writing space. Although it takes a while, especially if you're working alone, it's pretty straightforward to put together  once you get the hang of it. There was some mild smell of off-gassing when it was fresh out of the box, but it dissipated within the day. Overall, very happy with my purchase!
