Okay first let me say this is VERY heavy-122Pounds! The color is also not as pictured on the website. More of a deep walnut brown color. The quality is mostly great. There were some edges of the boards that the finish had rubbed and minor imperfections were visibly, but only when inspecting it for damage. Overall I don't feel like it would be a deal breaker-nor would it be a glaring flaw that one would notice when using. The item was packaged well and came with parts and instructions to anchor it to the wall but I did not find it necessary. I would advise AGAINST using this for a computer desk-unless you have a SMALL laptop! It is designed more as a secretary then a computer desk. a few things to note when assembling-the bag of parts looks over whelming, but it's not. There are just a lot of big pieces in it, so just separate the pieces out and you will feel less overwhelmed. When putting it together there are no notes as to which side should face out (finished vs unfinished) The finished side goes OUT. There are also two small clear rubber dots that are not listed in the instructions. They are for the two bottom cabinet drawer so that it closes quieter-I have included pictures. Also, when you are instructed to put the 'sliders' on the bottom there was some confusion because there are flat pieces that I initially tried hammering in-but they did not have the metal 'tack' pieces sticking out-I missed seeing those initially! They are actually to cover the screws on the back of the cabinet-again, the instructions do not mention these pieces. There are 'sliders' included with the metal 'tacks' sticking out and THOSE are for the bottom of the cabinet.Overall, the cabinet is beautiful. If you have a laptop (about 15 inches or smaller) then this would be a good cabinet for that-thinking maybe dorm room?-otherwise it is simply a great place to store books, writing materials, or-in our case-use it for an art cabinet for my daughter.I would recommend purchasing it :)

Very nice piece. Ordered this as a gift for my mother-in-law to use as a desk. Could see this having uses as a small bar, storage area, or decorative piece. Wood is of good quality. Directions were straightforward for assembly. The front area folds down for writing or computer use. When not in use, easily folds back up which is a nice space saver.

This piece of furniture is pretty heavy. As stated, you do need two persons to move and assemble this. Assembling is staright forward if you follow the instructions, however it took around 50-70 minutes to put this together. Nice addtion to the kitchen/breakfast area as my kids can use this as their studying desk. When putting it together there are no notes as to which side should face out (finished vs unfinished) and as a result I had to disasseble few parts twice. There are also two small clear rubber dots that are not listed in the instructions but mentioned in the list. I belive these are for the doors to close smoothly. WHY 4 STARS: The only thing which did not work for me is the magnetic latch, the magnet is not strong enough to hold the table when closed. I have to buy a magnet and fix this, which I beleive should be easy fix though.

This desk is just what you need for a smaller office. It fits very nice and the look is high end. But there are some defective spots. Where the lament on the edge is wrinkled. (Which is why 1 star was removed) Other that this desk and just what I need for my office

Looks exactly like pictures and the desk has a very nice and neat look. Its the perfect desk to hideaway a small workstation area. Despite a lot of pieces, the instructions were very helpful and easy to follow (best done with two people). Have to be careful with the magnet placement to ensure the magnet works on the desk that folds out and door hinges are a bit tricky to attach perfectly to get both doors level.

Was looking forward to this piece of furniture. However, unpacking it today and trying to assemble the pieces, discovered that one panel was damaged and therefore could not put the desk together. So disappointed.
