This is a great desk for the price, we've bought it for a home office and despite what other reviewers have said, the instructions were easy and very clear. I had prepared myself for hours of sweat and toil but it's actually one of the simplest DIY kits we've used. There is one point where the instructions muddle up two of the legs but if you double-check the pictures, it's still clear which is which. 
I had thought that the shelves might be a little bigger, there's not much space on them other than ornaments bu that's fine. I love the colour, I was worried that turquoise was going to be too bright but it's actually a lovely dark duck egg blue which goes perfectly. Overall we're very happy with the desk.
