I almost didn't get this desk after reading a few of the reviews, but just kept thinking about it and returning to look at the picture.  I got the cherry and honey oak -- beautiful!  The wood has a nice heft to it, very sturdy and stable.  And the amount of storage in the multiple drawers is outstanding.  Once I fold out the desk surface there is plenty of room for a laptop, phone, books, and others necessities. It was probably the easiest to assemble furniture I have ever purchased.   I'm so glad I got this.
