This desk is visually appealing and strong looking. However, it is the most horribly constructed desk I have ever seen. The desktop is poorly put together with smaller pieces of wood showing fractures in the desktop that just keep splitting further apart!  There are two very large fractures, with the larger one splitting more than halfway through the length of the desk.  I cannot use this desk. Absolutely horrible quality and should not be sold. As you can see in the photos, this is a waste of money. Do not buy!
