The desk is clean, just like when I first received it. Unfortunately, it arrived with a small scratch under where I placed the speakers. The desk has two modes: you can keep it as it is in the picture, or flip it over as I have done. It has a space underneath to organize wires and power strips, as I have done. The desk's price is 650, and it's currently 900 on IKEA. The reason I'm selling the desk is that I'm changing it.
