I love the desk itself. I find it strange, however, that the drawers do not close all the way. There is about a half inch gap between the drawer and the shelf so it doesn't close flush. It is a design flaw. It has nothing to do with how I put it together, as all the pieces are together properly in and in the right way. It is just the wood does not reach the drawer, so there is a gap. In looking at the photo online, the gap does not exist. It is a bit of an annoyance. Other than that, the desk is great.
