I bought this sweet little desk for my son's room - his room is small and so this was the widest one I could get that would fit. It's perfect for when you don't have a lot of room. It's particle board and so if you are expecting a solid, heavy desk, well this isn't it. But for $95 it worked for us. There was a tiny chip out of the wood in one spot, but not worth (to me) to send back. My other son (17) assembled it and it took him an hour and a half and he is REALLY good at this stuff - he said it was difficult to do by himself - which means it probably would have taken me 4-5 hours. He mentioned that he had to basically make his own holes in a couple of spots for the screws. Just a heads up if you are someone who doesn't like putting stuff together (that would be me). But all in all, I'm happy with the purchase.
