This is a perfect writing desk with a hint of modern. The instructions were easy to follow; however, it stated that you didn't need an electric screwdriver. Your arms will thank you if you use one, and the fit will be tighter. Also, you need a hammer. I recommend a rubber mallet. You have to bang against the wood, and it could easily damage. Speaking of wood, the underside of the top was damaged on the corner. If it was on the top, I would have more than likely sought a replacement, but since it was underneath, I'll live with it. It is glorified particle board, but the price reflects that. All in all, it serves it's purpose and the color is fabulous.

Pros: Color, good value, clean lines
Cons: Particle board, not packages well for shipping (chipped top)
