I like the look of this desk and it definitely meets my criteria. I wanted a desk that wouldn't overpower the room, but would provide enough surface area to spread out as needed. And the price was very good. It was pretty easy to put together. (Hint: pay attention to make sure the lower support bars face the back of the desk. Yes, I did do that and had to take apart and put together again. *sigh*) I would really like to give the desk a 5/5 but there are a few rust spots on the white where the powder-coating has worn off and the metal has, unfortunately, got wet at some point. It's not obvious at first glance. I noticed as I put the desk together. This isn't a deal-breaker for me and I'm not going to go through the hassle of attempting to re-box and return. I'll just hit the rust bits with some enamel paint or french tip polish at some point.
