I bought this desk for my "Glam" Office. It was pretty easy to put together considering I don't like to put things together. I love the black laquer shine makes it look expensive. The only draw back to this desk is the front of it is not lacquer and there is a hole in the center of the front of the desk. You also can see the screws from the front of the desk. This desk is really meant to face a wall and not to people. I wish I had known this before. I am going to have to get creative and probably lacquer the front strip myself and place something over that hole. Other than that the desk is nice.
