Can’t beat it for the price!! Yes, there are some flaws… and if this was an expensive desk, I would probably try to remedy the scuff on the top. Overall though for around 200 it’s a great deal! It’s very large and looks good. It’s definitely not real wood and has a bit of a hollow feel to it, but that also makes it light so that if you are assembling it alone, it’s not difficult to deal with. It took me a little over an hour to assemble it. I would also recommend hand tightening the screws for each section before you tighten them down with the Allen wrench this way everything is flush. It’s a bit odd that the grain patterns go opposite directions too but I knew this going into it. Overall though …. You would have trouble finding a better large desk solution for the value of this.
