This desk is beautiful in my guest room/office.  It gives the ability to hide the laptop in the keyboard drawer when not in use which is great.  While it is not solid wood, it is a very weighty desk once assembled.  I was able to put it together alone in a couple of hours.  The directions are detailed and easy to follow.  However, being my normal impatient self, I tried to move this desk after assembly (alone) and ripped off one side panel. I contacted this manufacturer and they shipped a couple of replacement parts at only the cost of shipping. I will definitely order additional pieces from their brand.
