OK, so the first thing you need to know about me is that I never write. I LIKE most of the services, products and 'Deals' that Amazon offers and am very grateful for its existence in our market place. Especially for my Middle-Aged-Just-Now Catching-Up-With-TECH WORLD 'Demographic' that I'm sure I belong to and I generally feel Amazon is great because its fun and easy to navigate around and is interactive enough that it allows me to feel good about myself, to comprehend how to learn and work my way around the site which is always a good thing for me - But I never write.I utilize a lot of its features with something like pleasure and relaxation but I still feel like I still have a lot to learn about it's features...nevertheless this site is attractive to me because it is: A User Friendly Market Place, An Informative and, Accommodating Online Business that is very professional, courteous and polite to their clientele and incredibly diverse in their selections and services - But I never write.That being said, this desk rocks!It Looks Beautiful and actually improves the 'Ambiance' of my tiny little space of a New York Studio that I reside in.It's very 'Classy' looking, but to be fair, it also Amazingly complements the actual modern looking desktop computer, Wireless Logitech Keyboard and Mouse that I have on top of it. That's another thing I appreciate and that is the ratio between what you were sold by comments and reviews and product description and illustration and what you actually received...For me the ratio is off the charts!In my case I really didn't expect it to bethis easy,this beautiful,this sturdy.this perfect size,Look, if you're a little ADD about stuff like this like I am then you're going to love this...maybe because I'm single or something, or maybe I'm re-discovering my manhood or my inner-carpenter guy or something I really don't know and I really don't care, I'm not that interested in my origins just the result and in this case the result was pleasure.In this day and age of getting less and less of a product and seeing that that said product's quality and quantity wane over time and as more and more monies are needed to acquire that said product it's nice to come across a Company that puts out a product not only on it's inherent merits but also on their implicit guarantee that you will not only be able to handle the innate necessity of this product needing to be put together by the customer but that you will most likely enjoy doing it....The told the truth.Believe Me.This Desk Is Awesome!Alright, lets start with the time factor.IT was fine. One week.Upon first sight:Everything looked fine, all the contents were in excellent condition as was the box that the contents were in and it was a great relief and did immediately elicit a spontaneous smile from me upon seeing the box for the first time.Ok, this next thing may sound a little ADD now, but just bear with me.The second thing I am grateful for is the 'Simplicity' and 'User-Friendliness' of the 'Directions' the foresighted inclusion of all the 'Accessories' 'Tools', 'Illustrations' needed to put the thing together/that would have been enough for me to write something about the desk and probably give it 4 Stars easy, but where this outfit went above and beyond the call of duty is with this:The design of this thing is, and I don't use terms like this lightly, BEAUTIFUL!!! Look, I'm middle-aged, not great at the whole putting stuff together thing. I can get confused easily and quite often due when I read directions on how to put stuff like this together either because of conflicting information and/or incomplete information and because I doHave ADD, I do Have Bi-Polar they don't have me but, nevertheless, I fell through the cracks...so, believe me when I tell you that before I pressed the 'Confirm Order' button on this product I first:1. Researched for,2. Focused on,3. Singularly searched for the 'Theme' of:A)'User-Friendliness'either mentioned and/or specifically critiqued forB)If the term 'EASY' is repetitively used to describe several key featuresC) If multiple references were alluded to that I inferred would appeal to the mechanically-impaired like me.They used different terms of course but I READ BETWEEN THE LINES and the message was clear: that this desk was worth it 'BECAUSE' its simplicity to those of us who equate putting things together from directions included in the Package commensurate with a nice visit to the Dentist. Exactly. No such Thing exists. So let me say for the record that putting this Desk together was actually FUN FOR ME TO DO! - putting it together step by step. taking a break, taking my time, pacing myself, the whole experiential thing was very cool for me.1. It was so freaking-easy to put together2. It was so freaking-easy to put together3. Did I mention that it was :4. So Freaking-easy to put together5. It Looks Beautiful and Feels and Looks Expensive.I just got it tonightI just put in together tonightI don't fall in love easily but if I do its usuallyfor real and usually for a really long timeI LOVE IT!This is the Bomb Ya'll...
