I wanted to love this desk, the pictures are exactly what I was looking for.  Unfortunately the quality is very disappointing.  The desk came in many many pieces, the bottom of the drawers are practically cardboard, the rest of the desk is particle board and some of the pre drilled holes didn't align correctly.  Finally got it together after about 6 hours to find the top is not properly aligned with the base, so you can see about 1/2 inch of the particle board at the back of the desk.  The drawers also don't open/close all the way.  I've tightened everything up as much as possible, but the desk still sways quite a bit.  I would return this, but it's very heavy (surprising since it's so cheap!) and I don't have the patience to take it apart again and send it in for a return.  Obviously for the price I was not expecting 100% wood, but I feel like I threw my money out the window on this one, I'll have to get a replacement desk and likely put this one out on the sidewalk.
