I bought 2 of these desks - one for me, one for my husband - and we both love them.  They are very solid and feel like a much more expensive piece of furniture.  The drawers slide beautifully.  We put them together.  First, note that the box is extremely heavy.  One person cannot move it unless you slide it.  It took 5.5 hours to assemble the first one, it wasn't hard, it just takes time.  Took only 3 hours to assemble the second one.  I highly recommend this desk.
