This desk is a beautiful, sturdy piece. I absolutely love the stylish deco cutouts. It adds a touch of beauty. When I received this, it was packaged phenomenally. I have to give credit here. It was the most padded, protective packaging Ive ever seen in my life (and I see a lot). The entire top piece, with drawer, was pre-built, and packaged into a foam crated box. I was so happy to see that all I had to do was essentially attach the legs. It is a corner unit desk, but the instructions allow the corner piece to be added as optional, and I ended up keeping it as is. I may the corner pieces on later. I love that its optional for two different styles of desk! The build (which I originally thought was going to be a long intense project) ended up only taking me about 20 minutes. There are 2 power outlets on the side, which I didnt realize. That was a pleasant surprise. I got this for my daughter to have a desk for her school work, and it is absolutely perfect!
