I've ordered many desks for my company, and ordered this one for myself.  I felt it really matched the look and functionality of what i was looking for.  

When I opened the box, 1st thing I noticed was the color was different than I expected.  I thought it was going to be black, but actually it was a dark grey.  i actually like this color better, but it still wasn't what I expected.  After I looked a little closer, I noticed in the pictures that the color is grey, not black, so I guess that was more my error.  

The wood is pretty light and some of the laminated sides were already peeling off when I 1st opened it.

As in my title, most of the desks I bought previously were in the $200 - $400 range, so I guess it's a classic case of you get what you pay for.

I do like the look of the desk, and it was very easy to build with great directions.   if you're looking for a light duty inexpensive funky desk, this is the one for you.
