Nice desk, it's pressed wood but if you can find it on sale then it's worth the cost. Package is heavy (80 lbs) so be careful or you might crush the corners, although the Bubble Cushion does help. I really like the design; my daughter picked it out and it's modern with a traditional touch (photo attached). Set-up takes time but was straight forward. Package came within two days of order so we are really happy with it. Oh and if you can, choose the 60" version, it is much more useful than the smaller unit.
