Overall I like the desk a lot.  It's sturdy and the materials are nice (although the top did show up a little chipped, which is not very noticeable).  I also like that you can choose what side to put the drawer on.  The issue I had was with assembly.  I could not get piece 5001 to lock around piece 5002 at first, based on the drawings in the instructions showing piece 5001 flush with the wood.  After many attempts, I pushed the piece in further using a screw driver and hammer and it was able to lock in properly.
