Love the overall look of the desk.  Fits perfectly in my 12x12 space.  Everything I need is is arms reach.  Putting together was a bit of a pain and took a couple of hours with my handy husband's help (okay he did most of it, lol), but really wasn't too bad.  It was packaged very well and I there was no damaged pieces.  Also note that the non-storage part of the desk has stickies to attach to the storage part.  We didn't stick them on to leave us the option of moving it flat against the wall to have more space if needed in the room.
