I have had this writing desk for about 3 years now (along with the bookcase which I also purchased from Wayfair & gave a 5 star review). Still in the same beautiful condition from when I bought it! It was a bit tricky to put together but that was more user error as it was my first try putting furniture together. The legs being crossed is what confused me. All the instructions/pieces were clear! It holds so much with the 3 drawers + 3 "cubbies" + 2 flat spaces so that is why this photo is of organized chaos. I would totally recommend this purchase!
