The initial desk I wanted sold out and was not being restocked.  This was my second choice - and lucky for me it's great!  Purchased for my son to use for school at his "very small" apartment.  The compact and sleek size with modern look is perfect! The material was nicer than I expected (for the price) and it was not too challenging to put together.  NOTE:  You will make out better with an electric screwdriver.  Some of the holes do not match).  Great buy.
