This desk was easy to put together.  It looks nice, however the finish is not that durable.  I would suggest using a piece of glass or acrylic over the top.  We have it in our basement as an extra desk and do not use it often and it still shows wear.  For the price its a good buy, but don't expect to look great if you plan on using it daily.

Pros: Great value, easy to assemble
Cons: finish is not durable
