For the discounted price we received, we were satisfied with the resulting desk.  It is very basic but attractive and fit our needs.  The finish is fairly nice in all of the "visible" areas.  However, there were a few blemishes on a couple of the legs where the paint was either thin or contained a run.  Luckily, it really was not a noticable issue when assembled.

The assembly was straight-forward.  HOWEVER, I did have to drill some missing "shoulder" holes in a couple of places that were obviously "missed" during manufacture (typical of many of the items manufactured in China).  A 1/2" drill bit took care of this and the desk went together quickly after this minor mod.

We are happy with the desk and feel it is a decent value for the money.  It looks attractive in the room and provides what we needed for that space.
