The desk is just what we wanted. It was easy to assemble, with easy directions - and the nicest customer service. One piece did arrived damaged which we are taking care of. The material is rather soft/delicate - I suspect it may chip/dent easily. This is for a middle school girl to do homework, crafts, etc - and don't want to stress over taking care of a super high quality wood. This fit the bill perfectly - for design and wallet!
