Arrived without damage - instructions were simple and all the pieces fit !!serves it purpose, is very sturdy, easy holds our 27 inch Mac with printer.looks great in the room as well. Finish is nice - Exceeded expectations.Would recommend -

Pros: This is a lovely desk that was easy to assemble by myself. It is solid wood and sturdy. I like that the middle drawer can be used as a keyboard tray or as a drawer. I added trays to use it as a drawer.Cons: I am 5'4" tall and this desk is too tall for me. I have my desk chair at the highest setting and am using a pillow in the seat. I still have to hunch my shoulders to type on my laptop. My feet don't touch the floor so I will need to buy a prop for my feet.

The desk looks good. Easy to assemble. The keyboard drawer has a latch, rather than magnets, to lower the drawer front for typing; not that bad. The wood on the top of the desk is soft, so you’ll need something to place something under any paper you need to write on so you don’t dent it. The quality is as good as can be expected for the price and similar to other desks I’ve purchased that would be the same price today. I’m thinking of getting a clear plastic cover for $19 now so that the surface of the desk is always nice looking. I’m very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this. The only way to get a better desk would be to buy a much more expensive and hardwood desk.

For those lucky enough to get one undamaged, it would be a very nice desk. I wasn't one of those people. 1st desk came with a cracked top. 2nd desk came with multiple problems from screws missing, damaged top surface, cracked wood, to drawer slides coming off. 3rd desk came with major damage to the middle drawer wood support where the slides are. Looked as if they used an impact wrench to install screws. After three tries. One is no longer able to ask for a fourth. Amazon issued me a full refund. Which I happy about, but I would have loved to have had an undamaged desk. It's solid wood, easy to put together. Only have to screw on the legs and drawer pulls. I think they have no quality control whatsoever. Very disappointing. I've added a few pictures. But there was a lot more damage.

Made of REAL wood, not particle board 😃!Wow…BEST packaging I’ve ever seen…not a scratch on it; no missing parts; everything labeled; excellent instructions; a bag of extra parts included “just in case”; took less than 10 minutes to put together…all you had to do was attach legs and drawer pulls! Sturdy, inexpensive, and looks great; I’m very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend.

It took some time for me to actually select a desk for my new office. In reading reviews of potential choices I was turned away from several options based on sharings of assembly horror stories. This desk was very easy to assemble. I did it all by myself, only needing my Husband to carry the box upstairs and then help me carry the desk into the office space. This desk is sturdy, solid, well-made and quite handsome. It allow just enough space for me to be organized but not cluttered. I was strongly considering a similar style at a local furniture store, which was much more expensive. This was definitely the best choice for me.

The desk is sturdy. I ordered grey...it is not grey...so not happy about that. It is not solid wood. Part of it is made with plywood. If it is not solid wood, it should list that in the description.
