decent looking for an inexpensive desk, September 23, 2008 I recently moved out of state and renting a smaller home. Since I lost the luxury of a 3rd bedroom, my home office is now located in the basement. I missed having a place for my macbook and bills. I wanted something very inexpensive since I do not know what my new home will have in terms of space. My furniture is dark in color and I didnt want a cheezy desk from [a discount store] that was either stark white or a faux pine color that would scream "I dont belong in here!" I am a seasoned assembler since I have purchased many items from [another retailer] over the yrs. But found this desk a little bit of a pain to assemble. Some of the instructions are not clear on which way a piece should face and after mid way through assembly I realized an error and had to dismantle and repeat steps over. The finish is attractive but please note it will not last. I think at most this is a temporary piece of furniture that might last for about a year before scratches and dings take over. Since the desk was affordable I purchased a white cloth parsons chair and some small sculpture architectural pieces of the Chrysler building and Effiel Tower (also available at Target). It does look elegant when dressed up a little.
