Great looking and functional. Value for the money can't be beat in my opinion. In fact I bought two rather than one large desk. The drawers are quirky with the opening grip bevel at the top as most other pulls are at the bottom. There are no drawer glides so they aren't  the smoothest operating. Being solid wood there were a couple indents and imperfections. I would always prefer poorer quality solid wood over the best "manufactured wood". The wood is EXTREMELY soft and marks easily. Because of how much I use the desks I applied a coat of tung oil to protect against coffee spills. One man assembly in 20 minutes was easy despite directions stating two person handling.
