My husband and I got this desk for our den, and we love it. It's a great size, big enough, but not too big. The wood is beautiful; it's very solid and has a nice sheen to it. The desk is very stylish and also sturdy, so it's a good combination of form meeting function. We took the advice of other reviewers and switched the knobs to a nice oval shape. The drawers are sturdy and roll well, and are big enough to hold regular 8 1/2 X 11 papers, as well as pens and note pads, etc. The keyboard drawer does not have a lid that flips up to hide the keyboard when the drawer is slid in under the desk, but it hasn't bothered me at all, and I'm pretty picky about stuff like that. We have a large ergonomic keyboard and it fits fine in the keyboard tray. Overall, it seems to be a really quality piece of furniture, and the price was right. We searched for a long, long time for just the right desk and feel we made a terrific choice.
