This is a beautiful and classic looking desk. No tools are needed to put it all together and the instructions are very clear. I have a desk chair without arms and am perfectly comfortable with the leg room underneath. Drawer for file storeage is especially useful although at first the tracks for the drawers seem stiff and sticky. Should loosen up overtime. There are holes for cable management both in the keyboard drawer and the side cabinet on the left. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
