I can’t even begin to explain how much I HATE this desk. After hours of painstakingly working on this thing, THIS happens as I put the top on. I should have known. I got a splinter just unpacking it. I’m not one to write negative reviews but I’d like to save you the money. Go with something else. 
I am now going to have face my daughter’s sad eyes tomorrow because her desk is worthless AND I’ll have to “rig” a solution. Grrrrrr!!!!
