I bought this desk thinking it would be great.  I loved the open shelves because it seemed like something a little different than drawers.  I also liked that the desk seemed not as big and clunky as some other desks can be.  However, when I opened the box, the first piece I pulled out was damaged.  Secondly, there were no instructions.  The desk is fairly simple to put together, but what company doesn't put instructions with a product that requires assembly?  This whole thing is just shoddy at best.  I would not recommend this desk to anyone.  I should have spent a little more money to buy a product that was better quality and at least came with instructions.
