It's a great desk for the price, but do keep in mind that it isn't a super expensive desk, so don't expect the quality you would get on something costing thousands. That being said, i really love the desk. It's so much more useful to me than my previous, and the file cabinet drawer has worked out extremely well. 

I dinged a star because there was a scratch (though easy to hide on underside), and the instructions were a bit difficult to follow. Make certain to read the directions very carefully and be certain you completely understand the steps, because it's easy to use the wrong parts in the wrong places. If you are careful, though, you should do fine. I assembled this desk in few hours. I do recommend getting help to get the desk surface in place. I did it myself, but it would have been easier and faster with a second person. 

End result - I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better desk at this price point, and would definitely recommend it to a friend.
