This is a simple but attractive desk, easy to assemble and fairly strong. I purchased one with a black top. The pictures here show square metal legs with a matte finish, but mine came with round brushed chrome ones, which is actually nicer in my opinion.

The melamine finish does resist scratches and stains very well and is easy to clean. The desktop is fairly thick with a solid feel, and the legs attach very firmly to it (5 screws each, in my version). Because there is no cross-bracing vibrations do tend to transmit to the entire desk, for example when the heads of my inkjet printer are working. But this is minor and the lack of braces means more flexibility about space underneath, and lends the desk a sleeker look.

I bought a small drawer unit that fit underneath and a mounting arm for my monitor and it's now a great little office setup.
