This turned out to be better than I thought. It is a solid piece of furniture and looks exactly like the picture. We have such limited space in my new office I needed a desk that would look professional despite the size. This worked out to do both. Assembly is easy, and takes time, but not the 8 hours on other reviews. At most 2-3 hours.

I love the desk!!!! It is smaller than I anticipated it to be but it will work fine for what I need it for. The assembly literally took my dad a entire day. It had over a 100 screws and pieces to put together. It wasn't a easy project. The instructions were easy to follow it just took a long time with all the different pieces. The desk seems like it's built well. There are some lines in the wood across the top that aren't part of the wood grain. It looks like a manufacturer defect. Maybe it is part of the distressed look. The only one thing about the quality that I would lower the rating for is the wood.

I needed a small and sleek looking desk for my 14 year old's room. This fit the decor and the price was good. It is a bit tedious to assemble and time consuming but not difficult. I agree with other reviews that it has some lines in the opposite direction of the wood grain that some categorize as part of the distressed look but they look more like damage. The UPS guy took advantage that my garage door was opened and the just left it there. The packaging looked like it had been banged up. But after you open that package, there is no way you can re-package it and send it back. It's nearly impossible. I was tempted to, though, as there is one spot around the edge of the top that is banged up but I did not want to spend more money on packaging. I am trying to find a wood marker similar in color to try and fix it. I also ordered a glass top to 1) protect it and 2) so that when my son uses it, the wood grain does not come through the paper

It looks nice when put together but unless you enjoyed building lego sets as a child, I’d probably find something with less parts. The directions seem to have you put in dowels at the wrong time too so you get to do it twice! Last, some of the manufactured holes were not fully drilled requiring additional tools that many likely wouldn’t have on hand. The end result was nice but I wouldn’t do it again. It is a darker gray then I thought but still looks good.

The desk is nice, looks great. The reason I gave it two starts is because it is terrible to assemble. The drawers have greasy gears that come together that you must disassemble and then assemble again. UGH. This item has too many small pieces that could easily come assembled if packed carefully. Honestly, there are so many nice desks on this site, buy another one, unless you want to spend your entire afternoon building a desk.
