I bought this to replace an old wooden desk that I was using as a vanity and am so happy I did! It is much less bulky and is very sleek looking. It's also so much easier to clean since the top is glass. It wasnt difficult to put together, but it was time consuming. Also, the assembly directions say to put the flat part of the leg on the inside and the angled part on the outside - but the picture here shows it as the opposite, so I guess you can put it whatever way you prefer.
