I bought this along with the credenza, accent cabinet and bookcases.  Tons of storage, hidden keyboard tray, cable management access.  The desk looks like solid wood and has a lovely walnut stain.  I have double monitors and no cable mess.  All the assembly was worth saving a fortune over comparable other options.  Love it!!  I had an electrical outlet installed in the floor under my desk.  The monitor cables run through the desktop down and into the floor outlet, so no messy wires exposed.
