The best compliment I can pay this desk is that it feels like a real piece of furniture.  It is very easy to assemble.  The gliding drawer comes pre installed, and the legs come with long bolts sticking inwards, so all you just attach them with is a pair of washers and bolts.  It is a desk that is just as easy to take apart as it was to put together.  The gliding mechanism on the drawer feels sturdy, and smooth.  Above all, the material feels like real wood.  There is absolutely nothing carboardy about it, which is often the case with these "value" priced items.  It feels like a desk a local carpenter.  

Pros: Sturdy, durable, easy construction
Cons: No frills design, heavy, unfinished
