Very functional desk - love the bookshelf space on the top and bottom. However do keep in mind the wood isn't real so it may have some chips in it. Didn't bother me though bc I was looking for something cheap that wouldn't take up a ton of space. It has a great amount of desk room, but it still fits nicely into my one bedroom apartment. The assembly is difficult/time-consuming since there are so many pieces - I didn't even bother trying to put it together I just hired someone to do it. Definitely worth it though - I like the desk a lot.
