Purchased this based upon the reviews. In all, I am satisfied. Was concerned that it might show up broken or with some issues, but the guys who delivered it were careful and, upon pulling off all of the cardboard, I confirmed the piece was in good condition. The one thing I do really like about the desk is that it is unique - I have not seen anything like it. It encloses all of my computer junk easily, and I like the color I chose as well (blue). For the price and the functionality, I recommend this desk. Yes, there is a bit of a paint smell, but I did not find it extreme.
