If you suddenly find yourself working from home and need a desk ASAP that fits in a small apartment, is somewhat attractive and doesn't cost an arm and a leg - this desk fits the need. As other reviews have noted, this desk was extremely difficult and patience-testing to put together and came with very unhelpful instructions without a single word of direction. There was also a manufacturing error wherein one of the screws didn't fit, but the desk is still functional. Additionally, the drawers do not come out very far, but I don't put anything other than papers in them so it's fine for me. While the top is glossy, I've already scratched it, so just be careful. This desk is a great quick fix, but in my opinion is not a replacement for a traditional, quality desk.
