The desk is beautiful and solid with the exception of the drawer.  It broke the first time I opened it.  It is made of a cheap cardboard like material which is secured by staples instead of screws.   My husband was able to bandaid fix it however, I won’t be using the drawer as it is weak and will likely break again with much use.   Another thing to note is the back does not have a finishing piece. Not a problem if you will be putting the desk against a wall.   Beautiful desk as long as the drawer function is not important to you.
