After assembly, I am very satisfied with the look of the desk.  It fits very well in my home office and the modern look blends with the modern/contemporary decor of my condo.  It is advisable for you to consider a review of your assembly directions.  They could be improved for the people like me, i.e. not a professional assembler. I had some misgivings about ordering the desk on line, not being satisfied with it, and having to make a return of a heavy piece of furniture.  However and thankfully, I am very pleased with the new desk.
