This desk is perfect for my second/casual office area at home. Fairly easy to assemble, although it takes 45+ min, and there is a ton of Styrofoam to get rid of afterwards -- not recyclable ;-(. But everything was in good shape and nothing missing. Just be sure to assemble in the room where the desk will be used, because it is too big/wide to get through a normal door (and fairly heavy) once assembled. 

Pros: Value and look/design; real wood (I think)
Cons: Too big to get through a door after assembly; can't write on it without a blotter or other layer of something on top of the textured desk top.
