The desk is absolutely beautiful. It is solid wood and looks much more expensive than it is. I did have a problem in that the desk they sent me had a defectively installed keyboard tray that would not pull out (hence the 4 stars) but I reported it and they send a replacement out that week, which I received about 9 days after the call. It works fine so the initial problem was just a manufacturing defect. The desk is a bit small compared to my other one, but it is the perfect size for the space I have it in. Just be prepared you won't have a lot of extra space for things on the desk other than your monitor and speakers, and maybe one other item. I am very happy with the (re-sent) desk and I would order it again.
