We love the way this looks..... however it is higher than a normal desk like others have mentioned.  It also came damaged on the corner.  We should have taken it all out of the box instead of installing the legs when it was still in the Styrofoam and then turning it over to find the corner all dinged up.  I am going to get some wood filler and fix it myself.  It also was missing a screw connecting thingy.  My husband fixed it with drilling a screw into it.  Overall however I really like it.  For the price I still feel it's a great deal.  Looks great and looks like real wood.  Not sure it all is real wood, but it's very authentic looking.
