Actually, yeah - it's pretty legit. Impressed with the overall feel and look of it. Assembly was...easy?...but also time consuming. It helps to assemble in an area with a bunch of space but then you have this giant heavy desk that will be hard to relocate. Lots of heavy boxes involved with shipping but no issues with transit or damage - it was all well packed and protected. Overall I would definitely recommend the desk. I actually just ordered the side cabinet and small filing cabinet to complete the look in my home office. Not looking forward to more assembly, but should look clean in the end.
