The price was right for this desk but you get what you pay for.  I noticed other people commented on the "fake wood" but it looked good in the picture so I thought it would be fine.  I was also surprised that the drawers were not the same size  of the desk, they are a little more than half the width of the desk.  However, it was not too difficult to assemble (lots of parts though), it has a good work space, and seems pretty sturdy.
