This desk looks awesome! That said it was a real pain to receive and put together. When we got the box we were thrilled...until we realized that it came in two separate boxes shipped at different times. So we had 1/2 of the desk but no hardware to put together. the hardware and the rest of the desk were delivered the next day. It took several hours to assemble...in the process breaking 2 cam locks. (those are very difficult to find at the hardware store!). the hardware is fairly cheap, but the overall product looks great. I cannot speak to the durability, as we haven't even used it yet...but I will update if we do have any issues. get this desk if you are going for a modern look!
