I looked for months before finally ordering a desk; I settled on this one. Unfortunately it is way overpriced since the entire thing is particle board (does wood even exist anymore?). Basically, this is an expensive Ikea desk. It was easy enough to put together as long as you follow the instructions. It looks nice but I don't expect it to last forever, that much is for sure. This is a heavy box and I needed to take it in pieces from the basement upstairs - again, VERY heavy. It is a decent size though!
