Love, love, love!!  I was searching for a desk for about 2 months. I needed something with no panel in the front so my father's old mission-style desk armchair would fit underneath (arms come up 27" off the ground). The two file cabinet drawers were an added bonus. I love the detailed finished back. This desk looks so rich and expensive. Just watch those corners when you're scooting under the desk - ouch! 
Assembly: Easy; did it myself.
Shipping: Arrived quickly and unscathed, with plenty of packaging to keep it protected.
Value: High-quality wood.
