The desk is perfect in size - being slightly smaller than average so it fits my box room really well; the chalky light oak finish is also quite classy. On the downside... the assembly directions were almost impossible to read since the printing on the box was really blurry - so I had to rely on my intelligence to work things out! The only real problem was with the draw and its runners, it sticks and scrapes when trying to use it. However, for the price I can't really complain and its failings do not stop me elevating it well above the cheap and nasty category.
