First of all I do like the desk.  It is sturdy nice looking and affordable.  The only problem I had was with the assembly.  Now I am not a beginner as I have put together many furniture items but this desk was one of the most difficult.  I found that pieces were miss marked and pilot holes were not straight.  The front to the keyboard drawer does not close correctly no matter what adjustments I make.  Again nice piece of furniture but definitely challenging to assemble.
