I give the desk itself 4 stars.  The hit to only 3 stars is because one of the panels was chipped.  Inspect carefully & COUNT THE HARDWARE!  Once of the panels was chipped.  I found the piece (approximately 1.25"x1/2") in the box and was able to glue it on -- luckily it was in an upper corner that will be hidden against a wall.  The biggest frustration was the missing 4 "screws".  I had to make a trip to my local Ace Hardware and was able to find something that worked - nothing like having to drop everything to make a 30 minute trip to the store :-(
