This is an excellent looking desk.  Directions and putting it together was very simple.  I wish the drawers were as deep as the top of the desk was because my computer tower will only fit in the space where my legs are which does not allow much moving and I can't push my chair in all the way in.  I would have given my purchase 5 stars but after being almost done putting it together i noticed a crack about 6 inches in the center of the desk.  Luckily, my monitor covers the crack up so it is not seen.  Otherwise its a really nice desk.
