It fits perfectly in my office and the drawers are a nice feature (keeps the clutter off my desk for more room to work!) It's modern but sophisticated. My husband got it assembled in less than an hour. The only negative is that it leaves prints! I wound up complementing it with a large desk mat/mouse pad (which also helps to prevent scratches) so no more fingerprints! Overall a nice desk for the cost!

@JeanneCrackel4 жыл бұрын
Well over the years I do know that Chalk Paint maybe is not the most durable product for a table top, but the BEST part is the fact you can change or repair/touch up easily. You can quickly sand the top and re coat if you would like and reseal. I do recommend using actually more than 2 coats for a table top that is used often. But also, distressed chalk paint is just that... It creates a worn and distressed look. Which either you love or not!! I am not sure if this helped enough. I do have many other videos on my facebook page including another dining room table LIVE painting video where I painted my dining table right in my dining room.. Another plus about chalk paint!!

Hello and thank you for the message, I am so sorry this is so late for a reply... When using dark waxes over light paint it can turn the color dingy so always practice on an area first...
