I bought this a few days ago and it arrived today. It was well packed and despite the box looking a bit beat up, all the components emerged unscathed. It took me 90 minutes from sliding the box in the front door to having it assembled and sitting in the corner ready for my 27" iMac (which fits it beautifully, I might add). All the dowels and cam lock parts lined up reasonably well, and I took the time to add wood glue to all the dowels. I found the instructions to be adequate, and EVERY part (wood pieces and hardware) is labeled with a sticker so there is really no excuse in not being able to figure out how to put it together. Most of the parts are particle board veneer with a warm, stained-oak look, but I have to say it is actually a pretty good veneer and would pass for the real thing unless closely inspected. The assembled piece is handsome and sturdy. I am happy with the purchase except for the keyboard drawer. The look and function of it are fine, but the sliders are extremely flimsy and flexy. My keyboard is bouncing up and down slightly as I type this. They were 95% of the way there, and then they cheaped out on this one part. Too bad. I may have to replace the sliders with something better in the future.
Overall a nice piece of furniture. The same thing in solid wood would cost 3-4x as much. The downside to veneer is that if you get chips taken out or the finish gets damaged, there is no real way to refinish it. Face it, it's no heirloom. Aside from the drawer sliders, for the price, it's hard to beat. Corner desks are also very rare, so I am doubly grateful for the find.
