i liked the overall style of the desk, but i was disappointed in the way it arrived -- damaged, with many scratches and the front piece of wood had popped off and was kind of warped. probably unavoidable to a certain extent because of shipping, but you live and learn.  i decided to keep it because it would have been a bigger hassle to return it and it was a pretty cheap piece. overall, i thought the quality was about what you should expect for the price.
