This desk is very sturdy and it was so easy to install the legs! One or two of the screw holes were a little tighter than the others, but it only took a few minutes to put together. There was a scratch on one of the legs, which wasn’t significant enough to exchange for a new one. While it has a finished back, there is hole for the cords in the back and this has a black covering. It really stands out in contrast to the white finish. I noticed the black part can be removed, so I’m considering setting it up that way so it’s less noticeable.
