This desk exceeded expectations and I expected perfect! It came well packed. It was easy to assemble (though I did screw the bolts in the legs off the desk when they were easier to reach to clean off the little bit of paint that was in the threads). Then they went on easy. The paint is a beautiful creamy white. The desk drawer has runners and the front flips down if you want to use it for a keyboard or laptop. It has clean lines but with nice extra style. Feels expensive and well made. Looking forward to having this for many years.
