I have a pretty small bedroom so looking for a desk that would fit in there was a bit challenging. But I'm so glad I bought this desk - moderately sized dimensions for a small room like mine, and its X-legs make it stylish too. I didn't expect the legs to be metal when I opened the box, but was happy to see that the steps to assemble the desk was quite short. Most of the grunt work in assembling was done (top part of the desk for was pretty much assembled). It looks great in my room and it's the perfect fit, so overall I'm happy with this purchase.
