Very happy with this desk! It's solid wood (and quite heavy, so seek help when putting together), and the finish is gorgeous. There's an odd smell to it when it first comes out of the package, but it dissipated quickly. 

One thing to note, the directions on the assembly aren't great. It's pretty easy, just screwing things on with an Allen wrench, but there are two sizes screws, and you have to figure out ahead of time which ones to use (long for legs, short for the cabinet). 

Very happy with this solid, gorgeous piece. Quality enough to have for a lifetime!
