The overall design is quite nice. No veneers. Sturdy desk with solid Mahogany wood. Easy assembly. Came well packed. Fits nicely in a small space. BUT, BERY CRUDELY done considering this is meant to aesthetically look smooth. The table top joints were showing in one area (see photo). The natural uneven surface areas are crudely finished (see photos). Some scratches (see photo). The joints of the legs were unattractively visible (see photo). Right now it can pass off in the room. But the crudeness will definitely show when the room is re-decorated and made to look minimalist. It seems like a well designed and a solid piece of furniture has no quality control during production. There is no value for the price you pay. Also, sending this back for an exchange is going to be hassle as with any furniture. Therefore, I cannot recommend this to anyone else. Very disappointed.
