This desk is OK, but I gave it 4 stars because it is functioning well and provides lots of work space. 
 My husband works from home when he isn’t traveling so we needed a good office space. We like that it is spacious and has a filing drawer, but the quality is just Ok.  The laminate that covers the desk looks like someone took a picture of wood, blurred it a little, and then pasted it over the desk.  From far away it does look fine, up close it’s not great.
It will take you *forever* to assemble this desk.  It took my husband and I a couple of hours.  I usually assemble furniture on my own but this project had so many steps that I needed an assistant.
I wish I had paid a little more and bought something nicer—I’m not sure how well this desk is going to hold up over time.
