I've had this desk for a while now, and it has held up beautifully. It does scratch a bit easily, but no more than normal, I would think. It's very sturdy, and has quite a lot of storage space. It took my husband about 1 1/2 hours to put it together. I love it!

Pros: Sturdy. Great design that goes well with any decor. Lots of storage.
Cons: Not quite as scratch-resistant as advertised.
