The Bastian desk I purchased from IconByDesign is a lovely piece of furniture. The solid oak is of excellent quality and the design is both contemporary and functional. The best part of buying from IconByDesign has been the attentive customer service and their excellent communication. I initially had some questions and called their posted number from the US. I received a call back from Australia within 2 hrs with all my answers. The distance is not an issue. Delivery went very smoothly with their courier service delivering and assembling the desk right on schedule. I look forward to buying more pieces from this company in the near future. Highly highly recommend.
