Beautiful looking desk.  Directions for putting the desk together a little cumbersome.  My husband almost threw away the piece to the back of the pull out shelf as he didn't realize it was an actual part.  You might have some kind of warning on the box lid that not all of the parts are made of the manufactured wood.  My suggestion to you in your instructions should also include labeling the parts with top, bottom, inside, outside.  I know you show the raw side as opposed to the finished side when it needed to be facing you but I found myself redoing the drawer because I attached the sides to it upside down because it wasn't clear.  Anyway, overall I am quite pleased with the desk.  Well worth the money.
