I read all the other mediocre reviews and decided to give it a try anyway. Overall, it looks very nice for something made with veneer. I like that it has enough room for my long legs. The drawer was a bit difficult to put together and does not fit or slide well. The top of the desk was damaged when I received it, with a crack on the bottom and front sides. The manufacturer was unable to send me a replacement part, so they sent an entire new desk. The new desk arrived with the same exact damage and a gouge in the back piece as well.
