My daughter is using the desk as a makeup table.  It was the perfect size for the space we had available.  The instructions were pretty easy to follow.  The hardware comes labeled for you.  I think it would be helpful if the instructions/pictures for the drawer were a little more clear so to make sure the drawer was being installed correctly.  The bottom of the drawer is not a heavy piece of wood so it won't hold a lot of weight.  I would say the quality of the desk is worth the price.  It was what I had expected for a MDF product and something that needed to be assembled.
