This little desk makes me so happy. I use it as a vanity (the little drawers are perfect for jewelry and knickknacks) that converts into a desk when needed in my bedroom. I have the (slightly distressed) black finish which is a surprisingly great match with most generic espresso/wenge finishes. 

It's true what they say about the fold-out top not resting directly on top of the pull-out shelf supports.  However, if you put something heavy on the fold-out part, it does bend down and come to rest on the supports, so they're still doing something.  I haven't had any hinge problems despite a little overextension. 

Mine came a little damaged on one side but I didn't want to deal with sending it back and kept it. The slight distressing on the finish makes all normal wear and tear easy enough to camouflage; it's no big deal.
