Looks sleek and modern.  Difficult to put together, definitely a challenge, but worth it.  I wanted minimalist and got it!  The desk is super functional and permits you to hide stuff just right - be it papers, supplies or ... contraband.  Modern and very chic- would definitely recommend.  The only thing to remember is that if you leave anything on it, you won't be able to access the desk storage so easily.  It's truly a great desk because it will force you to keep your desk clear of clutter.
