Once made up the desk is lovely which is why I gave it 4 stars. However, if based solely on building the desk it would be 3 stars. The glue that comes with the desk is not good enough so we had to use our own, and the hinges on the cupboard door kept falling out of place multiple times even when in use, so we had to get creative and use glue on the screw. The drawer was also very difficult to slide into place, though this could be because we made the initial fitting overly tight. Regardless, once assembled the desk is lovely and I'm really enjoying using it.
