This desk is exactly what I wanted. It's large enough to give me space to work but doesn't take up a lot of room. It's a lot sturdier and heavier than I expected for the price but that was a pleasant surprise. Set up was very easy, it came with the whole top half already assembled, all I had to do was attach the legs and the knob. It also takes paint very well as I bought it unfinished so I could paint it whatever color I wanted. A very simple but pretty desk.
