This desk is just as pretty as every one says. Mine came delivered fine and was easy enough to put together, although two screws don't stay in the holes are stripped, but they don't affect the functioning or structure. Will just replace with slightly larger screws. I have towels on the surface since everyone says it scratched easy. Will be getting custom glass panels to place on top. It is not the sturdiest of desk. It will last well enough if not abused. It is just not a solid welded together piece of furniture. Thought it was a little overpriced for the quality, but it makes up in beauty compared to the others I saw in this price point. Not disappointed. I have five monitors on it and a lamp and it all fits fine, but still does not take up a large area.
