The desk arrived with two round holes one on each side of the desk where the designs are located. The Pictures of this Writing desk don't have these holes, we could not figure out what the reasoning was, I called into customer service and she said the desk was not designed to have the holes on the sides, she also asked if it was really noticeable and if it bother me. Of course it bothers me to buy something and it have manufacturer defects, also the desk has several spots where the white paint is unfinished and you can see the darkness underneath.
