I have to say I was not expecting much with this desk but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality and look is even better than I could have imagined. There were no dents or dings like I expected there to be upon delivery and the desk was fairly easy to build. My boyfriend only messed up once while putting this together and it was a very quick fix. The wood feels heavy and durable and I love how the desk could be configured in different ways to fit the needs of your space. Just be aware that this is a small L-shaped desk, but if you are paying attention to measurements you should already know that. Happy I made this purchase!
