I purchased this desk for my daughter, she wanted a different one, but I ordered this by accident. But when we received the desk and put it together quickly, my daughter just liked so much she wanted to keep it. The desk is very easy to assemble, my daughter did it all by herself in about 30-45 minutes. The desk is sturdy and well made. The two level design is great to maximize space, my daughter loves this detail because she likes to place decorative items on the top level. The top surface is smooth with a nice finish. The metal frame is solid and adds a nice contrasting look, and because the frame is thin, it leaves plenty of room under the table to fit a chair and stretch the legs. The drawers are made of cloth. At first, I didn't like the cloth drawers, but they are sturdy and well-made, and they really contribute to make this desk look and feel light, while being solid and well-made.
