The desk was relatively easy to assemble, and was the exact size and drawer layout that I wanted.  I did not pay enough attention to the finish description (distressed), so it is not the smooth finish of the rest of my bedroom furniture.  However, it perfectly matched the mirror I already had on the wall, so it turned out well.  There were a couple of minor quality issues - the trim on two of the legs was installed on the inside rather than outside.  I decided that it was no big deal.
