I ordered this unique desk knowing some of the reviews were not favorable, but decided to take a risk and buy it anyway. When the package arrived, it was obvious someone else had ordered and returned this item. The box was really beat up and all of the bits and pieces were unpacked and all over the place. Fortunately none of the pieces were missing and the 20-minute assembly was pretty straight forward. The desk is basically what I expected; not great quality (small desk draw doesn't close all the way and the pull knob is way off center, legs are wobbly). Those things don't bother me ... the wobbly legs are an easy fix with a couple of felt pads under two of the legs and I decided not to let the draw imperfection bother me. The desk top has a few dings and and minor divots, but this just adds to the rustic charm. The main reason I purchased the desk, aside from the rustic looks, were the size and the colors. I needed a small work desk (and trust me, this is small), and I love the turquoise/light teal color (more light teal, which is exactly what I was hoping for). In fact that was the deciding factor on why I chose to keep this desk and not return it immediately on opening the box. The small draw is big enough for a few bits and pieces and the shelf underneath is adequate for a few papers and files. Oh yeah, and it's solid wood too, which is a bonus. Based on the actual quality, I would rate this 3 stars for my review ... but because I 'personally' like the rustic beat up style, I gave it 4 stars.
