The desk is nice but there's a major flaw in the design. There is no mention of washers in the instructions and none are supplied but, trust me on this, they are absolutely vital. I didn't tighten the screws very far beyond finger tight and, as you can see from the picture, they have cracked the top of the desk. It's really disappointing because, as I said, it's a nice desk but it's not exactly cheap and I'd have expected a lot better going by the reviews on here.
