This writing desk fits our needs and decor well. There were some minor dents on the edges of the table, most likely from delivery - not a big deal over all. Wifey and I assembled it together in about an hour with baby watching intently. Instructions were comparable to ikeas, aside from some vague ones.
TIP: For the drawer to be completely flush with the front of the desk make sure the racks that mounts to the drawers are screwed in the middle of the three holes. For Bar M make sure the holes face the inside to fit legs properly.
