I must have looked at every desk on this website until I finally got so overwhelmed that I bought this one. I'm glad I did: it's one of the nicer pieces of furniture I've bought on the internet. Solid and heavy, well shipped, looks as pictured, fairly painless assembly (though a second set of hands would have been useful, at times). The drawer glides smoothly open and shut; the under-side shelf is a nice touch; the desk is wide enough to fit two large computer monitors. The wood has a bit of a scent on it straight out of the package; just give it a day or two, and it goes away.
