The desk is very sturdy and looks great!  I had to give it only four stars because the desk arrived with a crack in the top.  A different one was sent out which had no defects in the top, but the legs had some issues with deep cuts in the legs which were very visible.  Fortunately we had the legs from the first desk sent, so all turned out well.  I love the way it looks, but it is not good for the consumer or the company if two desks need to be sent in order to get one perfect one.  Unfortunately, I feel with much of the furniture I have bought online, it all depends on the individual craftsman as to the quality of  things purchased.  It’s often the luck of the draw if you get items well made with all needed parts included.  Some people will take pride in the work they produce, and others will just get the job done with no concern about the quality of what they are making.  Things are not always perfect, but sometimes good enough.
