I love this desk. My room is tiny and my old corner desk was taking up too much space and not giving me enough surface area for all my beauty products. This was the perfect solution. It was fairly easy to assemble (I enjoy assembling furniture) with very little help from a second person. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived a day early. It's sturdy on its own, but even more so once it's propped up against the wall. I definitely recommend making this purchase. The quality is great considering the price.
