The desk is all solid wood and that detail alone is HUGE! It all assembled easily, even in a spot where they forgot to predrill a hole for the screw. It would be nice if the fastener head was anything other than a hex/allen wrench because I could have simply used a drill and had the desk put together in 5 minutes. I did find that the legs scratch easily and I did accidentally puncture the top of the desk by screwing a screw in too far. The desk is very attractive and lightweight, which makes it a great desk.
