Easy to put together and is super functional. Allows me to have my laptop in the middle and a lamp on one side with photos and files on the other. The area it creates below is awesome for hiding files, bills, things to do, etc. I have a wooden/black themed office so the black goes perfect with the decor and does not look cheap. It looks great from both the front and the back, as I have an open desk that faces out. Works great!
