I bought this desk at a time where you couldn't find a good priced desk anywhere and I wanted to love this but after receiving 2 from Wayfair I still am not a fan. I thought the first one was defective because I could not get the cross bars to align with the holes for the screws but had the same issue with the second item. It totally was not noticeable so I kept it and used it until I could find a more permanent solution. Extra star for being very cute though!
