This table was purchased for use in an office.  It is solid wood construction and is therefore heavy and stable.  The drawer slides out smoothly.  The top of the desk is beautiful with slats of wood rather than a solid piece which gives the desk a more pleasing look.  We stained the desk a walnut  color and after applying a poly coat, it is beautiful.  The desk was received quickly and was securely packaged.  We are very pleased with our purchase.
