I bought this desk on sale and I would not pay full price. 
The pros: after assembled, the desk was as shown in the picture. It was easy to put together, and appears sturdy. The cons: there was a big scratch in the middle of the desk, and part of the side shelves had chips in the wood, also one of the pvc pipes that you screw in snapped while assembling and had to be duct taped together. 
Overall, it is a decent desk but would not pay full price. The chips on the shelves were easily hidden with items I put on the shelves. If you are looking for a temporary desk I would recommend it, but I don't think it will last more than 1-2 years.
