The desk is a beautiful color but the pieces that came were defective. The holes were on the opposite side of where they were supposed to be on 2 pieces. If I had put this together, raw edges would have been seen. Pretty sure I just got a defective desk based on the other reviews. Extremely disappointing and would not recommend to others.

I love the desk. The instructions were a little instructions so be careful of that. And mine also had a little chip in it, but I didn’t mind because it was easily covered. Overall I like the desk and plan using it whenever I have at home work to do

This is a substantial piece of furniture. It’s got an “interesting” imbalanced look to it, with one side solid and the other side with mid-century modern angled legs. In person, it looks like a piano! It’s big, too—I put some everyday objects on it to give you some perspective in the photo. On the solid side, there’s a shelf at floor level to keep your computer tower off the carpet—but it is actually not attached. (See photo.) You could use it as a little foot stool, honestly. Shipping was quick, but the first box arrived completely destroyed, boards exposed and smashed, styrofoam spilling out all over my porch—and the wrong color! I looked at the delivery man as he set it down and said, “Are you serious” He sheepishly put it back in his truck and returned it himself as damaged. The second attempt was the correct color and better boxed. One corner was still ripped open and you can see in the photo that one desk corner got smashed, but I did not return it. Assembly was straightforward, and miracle of miracles, all the pre-drilled holes actually lined up correctly. without issue! Yay! But if you look at the photo of the backside, all the silver cam bolts and screws. They included a sheet of stickers to cover them, but the stickers were WHITE. Bottom line, it’s a sturdy desk with a cool shape, but be prepared to deal with a poor shipping box, wrong colors, etc. Wayfair is good about replacing broken items, but it takes extra time. If you’re not in a rush and you like the look of the desk, go for it!

It’s a pretty desk, but I thought the directions to assemble it were some of the more confusing ones I’ve come across. Also, it seemed like it was really well packaged, but there was a chip that happens to be right in the center of the desk. Fortunately, it’s not super noticeable until you’re up close.

It's a nice desk. We had a few issues with ours however. First off, the box it came in was destroyed and falling open and apart, which may be a big reason for all the knicks and broken parts throughout. Fortunately, even though there are several scrapes, they're small and or in unviewable places. My son is going to use it in his room. Also, some of the pre-drilled holes were mismeasured, so that makes for a frustrating, and difficult assembly. I had 5 pictures of the bad spots but some would not load.
