It's cheap melamine not wood. The desk is too shallow and really only works for a laptop or as a writing desk. Not for a desktop computer. The knob and handle is white, not black as shown in the photo and they are made of cheap plastic. I wasn't able to attach the magnet to keep the door shut because the screw holes were pre drilled too large. The screws when you put it together are very apparant, but of course in the photo they made sure to make them hardly noticable in a small photo. The L shape is constraining. It's tight to sit at the desk as an average female. This desk is more suited for a petite person who doesn't need much of a desk.
