First let me say that the value for the price is excellent. This is a very sturdy desk, which can be questionable at this price point. At first I was disappointed because the desk seemed a bit darker in color than it appears online. Online it looks more like a vintage white and in person it's grayer. But the color has grown on me and I really like it. I will warn folks that this desk took my husband and me 5 HOURS to put together. This is not "some assembly required" - this is nothing but parts and hardware, and a 60-page booklet of instructions with a 42-step assembly. However, I am happy with this purchase. I needed more desktop real estate since moving to working from home and this fits the bill and looks classy in my office.
