I am very pleased with my purchase of the Cottage Writing Desk. The color is perfect, the size if just right and it is quite sturdy. It does take time to assemble as I worked on it a few hours each night for 3 days.The instructions are good and it is best to read each page twice before putting together - I'm a visual person so the exploded views helped when I wasn't quite sure. Also, it is a good idea to separate the various screws and parts used for the assembly - I used an empty egg carton and marked each with the part number - so there was no confusion. Also, the cost was better than other desks I looked at IKEA or the office supply stores in my area. Another positive - the desk was delivered on time and the box was in perfect condition and packaged very well to eliminate damage. This is my second great purchase from Wayfair!
