So far I'm very happy with this item. There were just a couple slight marks on the top which were easily washed off. 
The pull out writing slab could use a bit more support to it, it does dip down a little and it does feel a bit unsupported even with the support arm out, hence the 4 stars versusbe5.
Otherwise the item is well constructed, of nice size and shape, and is quite attractive in its location.
