The desk is so beautiful and fits perfectly in a corner of my room! I like the extra compartment above the drawers. It adds an extra area for me to place a bin with mail. This is a great desk and I highly recommend it! Im going to be honest, when I first opened it, I was overwhelmed with all the parts but I followed the instructions step by step and it became SO easy the more I assembled it. Out of other furniture Ive bought (not on this website), the assembling process would take 2 hours. HOWEVER, this desk was quick to assemble and I am VERY impressed with how sturdy it is! The instructions even have a section inside that described about how much weight the drawers can carry which I found beneficial when I was putting items inside the drawers. I love my desk )
