The parts do not line up properly and it's very difficult to put the desk together. Myself and 2 other girls worked for 4 hours to place everything together and the desk just doesn't work. I won't be buying from this brand again. Also, the 'desk area' where the laptop is is very short (close to the floor), so if you're tall, you won't be able to use this desk. finishes were nice, however.  Not worth the risk for the amount of money it is.
