This is a very solid desk.  It came very well packed with everything needed to put it together.  The instructions were a bit difficult to decipher, but eventually I got it.  I had one screw that did not align with the metal, so I could not put that one in.  That's the only reason for dinging it a star.  The drawers are very nice, and glide in and out nicely.  I wish the keyboard/center tray was wider, in order to hold the mouse pad, but other than that it's beautiful.
