I really want to love this desk...and I do for the most part.  

Things I love: the space on top of the desk, feel and color of the finish, the openness of the bottom of the desk keeps my room from feeling cluttered and too crowded.  

Things I do NOT love: the drawers are shorter than the width of the desk (e.g., I cannot fit a pad of letter-sized paper without turning it horizontal), the desk is also pretty heavy (while I was able to move it into my room and put it together, it was difficult for me to maneuver), the top of the desk stained a bit while I was putting it together (perhaps it was grease from some of the bolts and/washers).

I was also really disappointed when I opened up the box and there was a chip of paint missing from the top edge of the desk over the left drawer - it's right in the front and I see it all the time.  :(  It was much too heavy and cumbersome to even think about re-packing and returning so I am just going to have to live with it.
