This desk is much more than I expected from an assemble-it-yourself item of furniture.  The pieces are solid and sturdy, and the veneers are seamless and very good quality.  The drawer glides smoothly and fits evenly into its spot.  Assembly did take a few hours due to the number of pieces, but the assembly instructions are very detailed and useful, with both written directions and clear diagrams.  It's a nice addition to the home office!
