Update:
The desk top has a bit of texture to it so its not a smooth writing surface. I didnt notice this until I was trying to prime a pen and was only using one sheet of paper instead of a pad. I didnt see this mentioned anywhere in the product description so I deleted a star.
I kept the corner protectors that were on the largest piece when I unpacked it. Smart move because I banged the ish out of my knee on one of the shelf corners while scooting under the desk. Stuck the protectors on, problem solved until I can remove the shelves.
Original:
I bought this desk because I needed something with lots of writing/working space that had shelving but wasnt a big boxy shape. The openness of this desk (no back boards) made it a good choice. The price was decent as well. I forgot to check if I could put the shelves on either side so Im stuck with them on the left when I needed them on the right. It didnt take long to put together and studying the pictures carefully I was able to do it on my own. It moves easily and looks great in my small space.
I took off one star because there was a piece that had a corner that wasnt welded together very well (see pic) and another piece where the paint seemed to bubble a little. Hope it lasts a while.
