This table has been one disappointment after another. When it first arrived and I started unpacking it, the faux wood finish looked awesome. When I totally unpacked the pieces, I realized back top wood panel's edge had been smooshed down to the particle board. I had just moved and refreshed several furniture pieces. I just wanted to be done and really didn't want to deal with the hassle of contacting the manufacturer. Once I determined that the smooshed panel would be barely visible based on where I was putting the desk, I decided I'd just lived with it.As I'm putting the desk together, I'm realizing the quality is not that high. The wooden finish is very superficial. So much that using an electric screwdriver pulls up the finish a couple of times. I had to be super careful with the final tightening of screws. While this desk is not super expensive, neither is it super cheap. For close to $400, I didn't expect this desk to be as "delicate" as it is.I got about 1/4 of the way through assembly and ran into my second problem. There are two metal rods that need to screw into the bottom of the desk with the screws threading through metal washer like "eyes" that are welded to the bar. These "eyes" are welded at a 90 degree angle to lay flush with the bottom of the desk. One of these was at about a 60 degree angle. No problem, I'll just bend it back with a pair of pliers. I barely put any pressure on it and It snaps off. This is incredibly frustrating. Now I have no choice but to call the manufacturer.To be fair, the call was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. They just asked what part and processed the replacement order. They didn't ask any questions or demand any explanations. The desk remains on the floor in it's unfinished state until approximately a week later, the two parts arrive. The two new pieces are good. I undo some of the assembly to replace the defective panel. Then I assemble the the bottom metal frame to the bottom of the desk noting some misaligned starter holes in the process. When I go to flip the desk, the right wooden panel on the top right of the desk breaks. I will have to call the manufacturer again. Even if they process the part without any problem, I'll have to undo the assembly to replace the broken part. I haven't even assembled the drawer yet.I am not new to furniture assembly. I've been doing this for years, and usually solo. This is not about the "difficulty" of assembly, because it's not difficult. It's about the overall quality. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't. I have no illusions that this desk (if I ever do get it fully assembled) probably will be a short term solution because I don't see it weathering actual use well. Which is a pity, because it's rather attractive.
