This desk is really gorgeous and stands out because of it's unique design. The desk portion is not large, so not the most functional for university students or serious work. Great if you just want it for a laptop or intermittent use (which we did). The only complaint was that a couple of the holes meant for screws were misaligned. It was overcome without too much issue, but could be frustrating for those who don't love do-it-yourself type work.
