I wanted an inexpensive, no hassle desk that looked nice for my living room office space. When I say no hassle I mean no hassle putting together and no hassle if I ever wanted to move it. And that it wouldn't be to cumbersome or heavy. This fit the bill. This desk is very attractive looking. Assembly was easy compared to other projects I've done. I did this by myself with all pieces matching and holes lining up. 1 bar at the base was bent in shipping but I was able to straighten it with a hammer. (Can't see any imperfections because it's under the desk). It would have been more of a hassle waiting on a replacement and even if you looked I don't think you would notice anything. The top is spacious, width is nice. I read the dimensions on some other desks in the same price range and I was afraid they would be to narrow of a work area. This one is perfect. I attached a picture of everything on my desk and I still have plenty of space for books an paperwork. My only gripe and reason for deducting a star is the top is wrapped in a wood looking vinyl (or something similar). At first this wasn't a problem but I quickly realized if something accidently gouges this, it leaves quite a mark. I'm not sure if mine came this way or from moving parts around while assembling it got poked. Either way, it shouldn't have been this easily to make such an eye sore. Unfortunately it's at an area where I work. I constantly see it and it won't be covered with an accessory due to location. The artificial wood look is very nice, just not durable. I'm hoping it holds up. Overall I'm very pleased considering the price point, size, look, and ease of putting together. I would buy again.
