I am a little torn about this review. I do like the desk, it looks nice and gets compliments. It arrived quickly with all parts and pieces. Took several hours to put together-not an issue.  It was time consuming to search through all the pieces to find the right one..be patient, it is worth it (for us) to save a few hundred dollars.  The biggest controversy for us is that when putting the screws on the underside of the desk that holds the drawer, 4 out of 6 of them broke right off.  It looks easy to get replacement parts but we decided that we don't need the drawer there, we would rather have more leg space and sit higher in out chair.  
I give 5 stars because it works for us as it is.  Very heavy and durable, we love it!
