What a great desk.  Really solid and looks and feels like real wood.  Yes it is particle board and veneer, but you would not know it.  Unbeatable for the price.  I was worried about it being too dark, but it really isn't - looks much better in person than in photos.  Perfect in our office.  It did come in about a gazillion parts - however all labeled well and instructions were good.  Took hubby about 3 hours to assemble all - but he is very methodical and doesn't rush.  Went together well.  I would definitely recommend.  We paired it with a parsons chair we also got from Wayfair - perfect!
