This desk is absolutely what I was looking for, perfect size to spread out, stylish and affordable! My husband who is handy put it together in about an hour. He mentioned several times that it's well made and was packaged well. Normally when he has to put together furniture he is frustrated at how shoddy the materials are but this wasn't the case here. Yes it was still a hassle to have to put together but it beats paying triple the money! You should get this desk!
