I am disappointed in this desk for several reasons. First, I imagined that it had a finished back...it doesn't. Once put together, the back of the desk is all raw, ugly unfinished particle board. To hide this it must sit against a wall. It is deceptive that the photo shows it sitting in the middle of a room. Second, it must have been sitting in water somewhere before it was delivered. The particle board on one of the legs is swollen and bursting out of the finish, leaving a wide gap. The drawers are aligned poorly as well. They are hard to open and close. It was inexpensive, I guess you get poor quality for this kind of price.
