I purchased this desk for my husband after reading the reviews of others.  The pilot holes for the two side pieces were not placed properly and were to big for the screws provided. This has caused the tops to shift when opening them which then causes the corners to rub when closing. The drawer doesnt fit properly and is very stiff to open. Also,  upon delivery there was a piece of the veneer peeling off the front edge of the desk. We would have loved this desk, if it had been more carefully prepared for assembly.
