I was hesitant about ordering a desk online, but it has exceeded all expectations!  The desk arrived almost completely assembled -- all I had to do was to attach the legs, which took about 5 minutes.  The wood is good, heavy quality; the desk is sturdy and just the right size for a lamp, laptop, and other "tools".  What I love about it is the middle drawer, which is not only roomy and lined with nice felt, but it slides open and shut like a dream.  This desk is very high quality and I would recommend it to anyone.
