I was so excited when this desk was delivered today!.. 

Now I am contemplating every decision I have ever made! This desk is so pretty. Assembly, on the other hand is a nightmare! We had to break out a rubber mallet and perform an exorcism at one point! Shelves have zero additional space to fit into the frame (hence the mallot). No matter how loose you leave the screws for the frame, several screw holes for the shelves do not align without issuing a piece of your soul for trade. I am super grateful for my husband, who works in home renovation, because without him this desk would have experienced its first flight out of my bedroom window! 

This desk is gorgeous once assembled but good luck to any brave soul who dares win over this beauty!
