Great quality for the price. Legs are very sturdy and everything connected well when I was building it. All the pieces came undamaged and I received all the necessary parts with my order. You will need a handheld screw driver. Just take your time slowly reading through the instructions.

Desk takes a long time to put together, but it’s doable with just one person. Looks great when done… although be very careful as the base of draw and back are very thin! A bit budget in that regard… but the rest of it looks great!

Great size, shape and functionality. Wasn't impossible to set up. The texture of the wood on the top of the desk is a bit slippery, I don't love the way it feels on my elbows, and seems like the paint can wear away more easily on all the corners. But overall, happy with the purchase!

Bought this for my 8 year old to be used as her desk. It is as it appears in pictures. For the price it’s totally fine. The wood legs give it a nicer higher quality effect too. The white part is all particle board with laminate so not high quality piece of furniture BUT it’s exactly as described and for the price it’s good value. It’s functional, clean and modern looking, fits well in her small room and not expensive.

We like the table. Was little disappointed to see few dents on the legs due to poor packing. Need to improve on the packaging of the legs! Table is great for our boy school needs, but it is pealing already (top and drawer area).

Easy to put together. The desk top itself is a bit lower quality than I expected. I was hoping for a "glossier" finish. The matte finish really stains and retains marks. When it really starts bothering me I might try to spray paint it with a gloss white.

Very poor quality finish for the desk top. I have never seen melamine like this. The coating is paper thin and already chipping. It has stain marks from a cup of water. There were very similar desk models available for considerably less. I chose this one thinking it would be more durable and better constructed because of the higher price. Other than the solid wood legs, this is not a quality purchase.
