This is a gorgeous piece of furniture. The desk is much smaller than I would like, so I bought two of them and I am using them back to back. That works pretty well, and the price for two is still pretty reasonable.The desk comes nearly completely assembled. All you have to do is to screw on the legs using the bolts and wrench provided. If you have a ratchet socket wrench, the assembly will go a bit easier. It took me about 20 minutes to put together. The result is very sturdy. The finish is beautiful, a golden honey color. First class.It's made of hardwood, with multiple lengths of wood securely glued together -- sort of like a butcher block. There are some visible joins in these lengths of wood -- if you're not too picky about this, it's just fine. Likewise, there are some joins in some of the legs. Both desks I ordered had joins in two of the legs, and no joins in the other two. So I put the better legs on the front. But I don't want to give you the idea that these joins are very bad, and they don't affect the strength of the desk. The desk when it's all assembled is really very nice.The keyboard drawer is much higher quality than I expected. It's also very nice, and at just the right height. There's a moderate odor coming from the finish when first unpacked, but this has dissipated after a day. All in all, I couldn't be happier, and I would rate this 6 stars if that were possible.
