Bought this desk to replace a smaller used desk that did fair to well when I moved.  I really like the amount of surface space as I like to spread things out. Pretty easy to put together (really appreciate the extra hardware that was included just in case).  Took about 2 hours, but I wasn't rushing, and I had to remove my old desk which is a bit of a bear.  This desk is very sturdy.  The top doesn't look like real wood but it has a nice finish and color, and the tops were actually pretty heavy.  The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a lock for the keyboard drawer...it keeps rolling away from me. :)  I am very happy with this purchase.
