This desk is press wood and heavy, but it is beautiful.  I was leery due to some reviews saying it was easily scratched and took a rocket scientist to assemble.  The truth is, I took my time removing the desk from the packaging, and read through the instructions before I started assembly.  The directions were very clear and easy to understand, assembly took one hour without assistance (and I had to be quiet as my wife was sleeping in the room I built the desk in).  My son loves it, the lines are clean and will work nicely for him and his little sister.  This is one solid and sturdy little desk.

Pros: Great value, Looks nice, Functional
Cons: Missing one screw for the drawer, (But I had extras from other furniture)
