I was leery of purchasing this desk after similar models had mixed reviews.  This desk is sturdy, well made for the price point and compact! It was easy to assemble - my only complaint and reason for the 4 star was the box it was packaged in was damaged and cause a dent in the desk top which could be avoided with better packaging along the edges.  The dent/marr in the desk top is on the edge that I put against the wall so I didn’t bother with the hassle of trying to get a replacement.  If this was freestanding in a room I would have been more upset.
