I love this desk!  I decided to buy the white one as I saw someone else's review with a window beach painting above. She gave me the perfect idea. After reviewing how some had a difficult time putting the two pieces together I was a bit concerned BUT this was not at all difficult to assemble as my son did it for me. The white desk is pretty and has a nice gloss. What's great about this desk is that because it rotates you can actually have it stand in several ways; long, the desk to the right or left and as a L corner desk.  I bought it for my bedroom and it's perfect!
