Compact good, but very flimsy desk overall.  Could see the lament had already started peeling off on one of the edges of the particle board before I pulled it out of the box. I put it together as directed, but the supporting back board wasnt set to be at the back of the desk as the picture showed. I guess I could have reversed it, but I would have had to decide to put it together differently prior to assembly which i didnt know.I assumed it would go together the way the picture showed  and the way I ordered it to be. I didnt want to take it all apart because its like a one time build and your done, otherwise all screws would be stripped and then youre screwed. - should last my teen a couple of years if that... hopefully. I feel I over paid actually.
