This desk is OKAY.  It is only attractive from one angle, the other angles sort of from the back look extremely cheap.  I had planned to use it in my home office with chairs facing it, but it really looks cheap from that side so it won't work that way.  There is no back to that square column in the center, it's completely open in the back with all your cords dangling out.  A lot of the back is just basically cardboard tacked on.  All of that said, after rearranging the entire room because it would not worked as I had hoped, it is a nice attractive desk.  Won't fool anyone into thinking it's a real stately piece, but it's cute for a casual home office.  

It was pretty tedious to put together, about 4-5 hours over two days.  Most of the pieces were well marked, but some inexplicably had no identification.  Mostly not difficult, just a very lengthy process.
