The desk is beautiful once put together. I am giving 4 starts because it was very cumbersome to put together even for my husband who can usually put things together very quickly and easily. He was very frustrated during the assembly process and it took him about an hour and a half to assemble. I also give it a 4 because the top is cheap material . The edges look like they are separating to some extent and it looks a little cheap. There is also a bubble in one back corner. I probably could have rated this a 3 given these things but once together and in its side these things aren’t as noticeable so it still looks beautiful. I would recommend this piece for someone with patience to assemble and understanding that the top may not look like real marble but more like laminate. Overall it is a nice piece.
