The design of this desk is very cool; it is retro and yet streamlined. It is tricky to assemble but if you follow the instructions meticulously, your patience will be rewarded.  I wanted a desk that would sit in the corner of a serene and elegant bedroom and not dominate the room.  This does the job beautifully. As it is white, with rounded ends it is feminine, quietly spoken and doubles up as a dressing room table.
