I would say you get what you pay for.  The product description says the frame is solid wood with veneer...no, the frame is not wood! It's MDF +veneer. That's why the item is pretty heavy for its size. The drawers are definitely even more cheap made... not impressed. With that being said, the legs and the corner strips are real wood. The assembled product looks good from a distance. I ended up keeping it because I've searched a long way to find a desk that matches my other MCM furnitures, and of course the return shipping is not negligible.
