This desk looks great, especially considering the price.  I bought for my home office and there is plenty of room for a 15" laptop + a 22" monitor.  The top appears to be a real wood veneer (oak?) over I'm assuming an MDF board.  The edges seem to be solid.  The bar on the bottom makes a nice foot rest.  When I opened the box there was a nice 3/4" ding in the top but it didn't crack the veneer - not worth returning so I guess it has a little character now.  You cannot tell by the picture but the section below the wood top including the drawer fronts are metal - the same color as the legs.

Pros: Sturdy, metal & wood colors look good.  Unique desk.  Veneer top looks & feels like real wood.
Cons: I understand use of MDF for cost & straightness - if the top was solid wood this desk would be about perfect.
