This is a handsome desk, but there are a couple things to be aware of before ordering:

1. The desk comes completely flat-packed and takes hours to assemble. This didn't affect my rating, but is good to know going into it. 

2. The top has a very thin grey veneer, and it was peeling on the corners from the moment we took it out of the box. This desk top will not hold up to heavy use, and we will be purchasing a piece of glass to place on the top, which we hope will prevent further peeling.
