My daughter needed her own desk now that she is remote schooling due to Covid. We looked at several, and she chose this one. I honestly was concerned about it looking a little flimsy and possibly not well made, but I'll admit I was completely wrong. Even while putting this together we both found ourselves saying how sturdy and solid the desk was. I was also surprised how nice it actually looks in person, the pictures don't really do it justice. We had just purchased another brand of desk for my older daughter, and that took several hours to put together. Not this desk, we assembled it in about than an hour. The instructions were easy to follow, and all of the pieces were clearly marked. Definitely pleasantly surprised all the way around, and would recommend this to anyone who likes this style.
