We were very excited about this desk as it is simple and great looking. When put together these desks look and feel great. There was one issue where the screws for the shelves would not screw in all the way and the heads of the screws broke off a couple in the holes. Luckily the screw broke off right at the head and I was able to get them out with a screwdriver attached to the stem. Overall I would recommend this desk but be very careful with the screws.
