There are two negatives re this desk. First, a sticker was placed on the top and when it was removed it left a stain. I bought a desk calendar and covered the top of the desk but will repaint the top at a later date. Secondly, the desk comes as a fairly complicated kit and fortunately my husband is good at puzzles so was able to put it together. If I had been on my own I could never have assembled it.  I like the color and the style and since it would be impossible to take it apart and send it back will keep it.
