I know, you get what you pay for and I should have known this when I ordered the desk. Several pieces of the composite wood was chipped off and laying in the box when we opened it....which didn't  happen during shipping because the styrofoam was completely intact when we opened the box. Some of the corners do not match no matter how much we would tighten the screws. Have put many many pieces of furniture together so husband knows what he's doing and he says, this, by far, has been the most difficult and frustrating piece he's ever put together.

Pros: it's a nice color :)
Cons: see above.
