First the good: This is a nice looking piece of solid wood furniture.  It was easy to assemble and seems pretty sturdy.
Now the bad:  This is a bit hard to explain without seeing it in front of you.  The upper portion of the desk which contains the 2 small drawers is assembled at the factory with some kind of staples rather than nails.  The issue is that they didn't have the back panel lined up with the slots in the side pieces before the staples were shot in.  As a result it doesn't quite fit together exactly right and it loses some minor degree of stability.  Had this been purchased locally I would have exchanged it at the store.  In this case I'll just live with it.  In truth once it was assembled and placed against the wall you cannot see the issue.  If it wasn't for this one glitch I would have given this desk an easy 5 stars.
