Perfect desk for my teenager during this pandemic! The assembly took a little longer than an hour (assembled while watching a show). My son and I put this together and we did a great job.  We purchased a chair from Wayfair to pair with the desk.  The lacquer had not scratched or scuffed from daily usage.  There is adequate space on the desk for a laptop, lamp, books, etc.  I love the construction of the legs not your traditional look for a desk.  It is very sturdy too. We have had this desk for some months now and it is still in great condition.
