This desk looks nice, but the quality is poor. The drawers were damage when received, I called the customer service and they sent me the new ones.
Some parts of the desk should be metal but they are plastic instead. So, it is very easy to break. My 16 months old son opened the drawers and CPU door a few times and they broke. They are very easy to get scratches.
Looks good but somewhat flimsy February 8, 2008

Pros:
1.Appearance-Desk looks very sophisticated
2.Style-Elegant design
3.Storage-Fairly sizable drawers
Cons:
1.Workmanship-although the materials look good it is rather cheap and easily damaged. The desk is assembled in two large pieces and when moving there is significant strain at the connection interface.
2.Drawers don't line up precisely
3.Due to the location of the tower, a lot of the wires had to be stretched significantly in order to reach the surge protector. This makes addition of peripherals VERY difficult since pulling out the tower is nearly impossible without ripping the wires out.
4.Pulling the tower scratches the finish.
5.Assembly took a VERY long time and I have experience assembling many of these types of furniture.
6.Tower seems to heat up a lot faster inside the compartment due to poor airflow.
Bottom line: Not bad for the price, but certainly not great.
 Amazon pricing is unacceptable!!! February 28, 2008

This feedback is within two weeks of assembling the desk.
Pros:
-- I got what I was looking for - a corner desk.
Cons:
-- The drawer on upper left corner does not line up correctly.
-- The desk is difficult and awkward to move. Plan to use the desk for at least 2-5 years.
-- The desk scratches very easily.
-- You will have to purchase a longer monitor,keyboard, and mouse cables.
I ended up buying a wireless keyboard/mouse.
Amazon pricing is not correct!!!
-- I found the same desk at Walmart for 187.78 and Amazon will not price match!!!
Here is the URL to Walmart's desk:

I used to blindly shop at Amazon, now I won't!!!
solid, but crooked June 4, 2008

I hate this about a lot of pressed board furniture: the pre-drilled holes are not in the right place and the drawers and doors are all crooked when you're finished.
It looks sloppy. The door is the only straight piece on this because it can be adjusted with the hinges.
The keyboard tray slides out very easily which is sometimes not so with this type of furniture. It is a beautiful color and would look awesome if the drawers weren't so crooked.
It's very solid, doesn't wobbly at all and has just the right amount of storage space. It has a nice thin 2 shelf system above the filing cabinet section that is perfect for routers, cable modems & other small devices to be placed and free up desk/floor space.
Next time I will be spending more for real wood furniture with STRAIGHT drawers. But for the price, this serves it's purpose well.
