Overall, this is a solid desk.  It is handsome, rugged and heavy (which I equate with higher quality) and it's design is really unique.  I would have given it 5 stars save for the fact that the drawers don't really behave as I would have preferred.  They have a "catch" to make sure that they stay in once closed and while I like this feature, the primary drawer's "catch" isn't working for some reason so it wants to creep open.  It doesn't kill the deal though because I looked at probably 100 different desks (this is for my teenage son) and the thing that makes it a winner is it's value.  I was looking at $900+ desks and I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much (and I'm not cheap).  For the price point, this desk is a winner.  The other thing I appreciated was assembly.  It was about 8 bolts fastening the legs to the underside of the desk.  NO assembly of drawers required!  I was done in about 20 minutes if not shorter.  Solid purchase.
