Pleasantly surprised with build quality
I was looking for an office desk that was middle of the road for quality. I was very pleasantly surprised about the quality and fit of pieces. Directions are very easily understood, and the parts are actually labeled by step (parts required for each step are individually packaged for ease of use). Photos are clear and legible and the wood is of good quality. Even the thinner board behind the hutch was very well done so that I didn't split the wood driving in the tiny nails.
The two main drawers use ball bearings instead of cheap rails and are very sturdy. The desk pieces assemble in a fairly logical way and don't feel cheap. Having seen what a couple of other options are, I feel that this was an excellent purchase for the price, and is definitely not low quality.
The only downside that I can find out of this product is the construction of the locking drawer is illogical. The locking drawer is in the middle, and thus it would be possible to access the locked drawer by removing the top drawer. That being said, I had not really considered the wooden drawer as a method of storing ultra-secure documents. A rather small downside in my opinion, given the considerable benefits afforded by the desk.
I would very highly recommend the desk in terms of quality and condition. DEFINITELY have a second person available to help put the desktop together and to help it go faster, but it has a quality fit and is very solid.
