Until I can afford a big dollar desk this one will suit the purpose!
There is manufactured particle board but once I got it together after about 3 hours- it is actually quite strong and sturdy.
The finish is brand new so hoping it wears well-the color looks good.  Handles are identical metal knobs. Was shipped properly but did take a couple of weeks.   The drawer slides are fantastic! Nice glide.
I like my new desk.
