Corrrect. But thats the only thing about it, it "looks" good and functions, but the quality isn't something high-end. Upon taking it out the box (cause you have to assemble the entire thing, of course), the "paint" on the edges were cracking in certain areas.

That's unusual for IKEA furniture. Sorry to hear that.

I guess for more expensive ones, cause that desk is only ~$70 (least thats what I paid at the time). That (and a magic mouse & pad) are the only things on my desk so I'm not sure whats causing the paint to chip.

Maybe the paint is defective.

Pair of JBL Venue Stadiums (3 way with 2 x 8" woofers) with a HK stereo receiver @ 120w/ch. They'll shake the house up pretty nicely, and sound mighty fine doing it. :)

Those look cool. How much did they set you back?

Maybe. I didn't notice it until I had already assembled it (they started out as small cracks). There is one on the top now, and I do my best to have the mouse pad cover it. If I ever get my life on track and move out I'm going with a different desk.

im still going to get it, and if those problems occur, its going right back.
Good luck, let me know if you run into those problems.
