I was looking to replace an older desk for some time. This desk met most of my needs.  For those who like to work with your hands, it was easy to assemble. I only have two complaints; one is that when I opened the box, there was some damage to the back end of the top of the desk. As I was looking at the assembly, it was going to be underneath the top shelf so there would be no point to send the desk back for a replacement. Besides, I was in need of a desk right away. The second complaint is the file drawer. The picture is misleading  to make people think that it would be a standard file drawer. Sense I can't use it as it was intended for my files, it is now a storage drawer. Hopefully the next design can extend the desk further out to accommodate a wider file drawer.
