If you're looking for a simple desk for a home office, etc. and don't want to spend TOO much money (but still expect decent quality), choose this one. It is simple, sturdy, and relatively easy to assemble. It arrived intact and well prepared for shipping. My husband was able to piece it together in about an hour and a half. It looks good, but as other reviewers suggest, it may scratch easily. It is obviously not real wood, but I feel I'm getting what I paid for.
