I've had this desk for less than a year and I'm generally really happy with it. Easy to build, great surface and space. My only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that when it comes in contact with glue or tape, the color comes off and it starts to wear significantly. Personally, I don't really mind this because it's not important to me for this table to look perfect but if it is to you, then maybe reconsider this table.
