I like this desk.  I was looking for something simple and this piece works very well, gives me plenty of space for my laptop, desk lamp, and sufficient space for writing.  It is a solid piece of furniture and generally well made (the quality is good, sturdy wood - not pressed board).  The desk drawer is good, slides easily; however, the bottom part of the drawer is made from light-weight wood and I would have expected a more sturdy wood to match the structure of the desk (but this is a minor issue).  I expected the desk to have a medium brown finish, but it is noticeably darker than what is shown in the picture (but I still like it).  I appreciate how well it was packaged and the easy assembly - took me no more than 30 minutes to unwrap and assemble.  I am rating it a 4-star; I would give a 5-star rating except for the two minor issues I mentioned in my review.
