This is a cute little desk, but you get what you pay for. There was some chipping of the white coat on some the metal corners of the desk area, but the glass covers it, so you cannot see it (but still, I expected no chipping at all given that the desk is brand new). Also, as others have mentioned, putting the desk together was a bit difficult as the directions are poorly written, some of the holes were tough to line up and screw together without force, and the little suction cups they give you to secure the glass to the frame don't all fit into their designated holes.  Overall, however, it will suit my purposes and I will keep it (mainly because returning it is more of a hassle).
