I just assembled this desk and it looks great! I use it in my bedroom for school work. It was easy and quick to assemble. It took less than an hour with no help. I almost sent it back without opening it because of the condition of the box it came in. It was really torn up and wet ( it was not raining when it was delivered). It arrived a day early which was a nice surprise. I'm glad I opened and assembled it. Not one scratch was on the desk. It looks great.
