Bought this desk because its dimensions fit in a specific small space in my bedroom, and also because the color wood veneer matched the finish of my existing furniture. Although individual pieces are very solidly made, it was a little complicated to assemble the drawer mechanisms in particular. Also the long drawer's bottom interlocking panel piece never sat in correctly. Have to "gently" slide in & out otherwise one side comes apart. I don't use the drawer to hold anything heavy, just papers. Like that the top is a multi-functional type flat surface. I use it for writing/paperwork, laptop PC, etc., and as a makeup vanity table. However, did not like the fact that visible silver metal screws had to be used to complete assembly on side of (brown) desk frame. Spoils the overall look, and gives it a slight unfinished, inexpensive appearance. Wish there were additional wood veneer panels included to cover these areas. For that reason I would not recommend to a friend. Was a quick purchase for immediate need.
