I am loving this compact desk.  It doesn't take up much space at all, and it looks a lot better than I thought it would. All of the pieces were in perfect condition upon arrival, and I received it well within the delivery timeline.  This desk was extremely easy for me to put together by myself, and I am a 54 year old woman.  A big bonus was that the side shelves could actually be put together from either side of the desk too.  Depending on whether you are a right handed person or a left handed person.  Or perhaps you have a certain spot you would like to place the desk in that dictates which side the shelves should be mounted on.  I liked having the option.  It is also surprisingly sturdy for such a simple design.  I have my computer and printer on it right now, and I don't detect any side to side sway at all, and I have been using it for over three months now. For the price of this desk, why would you choose anything else?Cute design, Sturdy, different design options, easy assembly
