Overall, this was a great purchase for the price. The first box I received was damaged, but Tessa in customer service was extremely helpful and got everything sorted incredibly quickly. 

My only real issue with this is that assembly is mostly pegs and wood glue instead of screws, so I don’t trust it to remain sturdy. That said, I’m using this as a desk right now and it’s doing a great job, and the completed product looks just like the photo. For the price this is a fantastic option.

I would recommend loosely following the instructions. They aren’t very clear and I don’t know how you’d flip this. I made it and then put the top on with it upright which was much easier. 

Also, the shelves are a little short for books (even my shortest books don’t fit) but they’re great for knick knacks.
