I liked my first one so much I bought a several more!
By A Customer
I bought my first one of these desks for my guest room (only 12 x 10). I needed a desk that would accomidate my 19" monitor but, had a pullout keyboard tray and matched my natural wood decor and floors, without taking over the room. I also live in the southwest so the style fit in with our existing decor plan without breaking our budget. It was pretty easy to put together (30 - 45 minutes) with very simple tools. My first one has served me well for about a year. The only problem is that I need to tighten the frame as the keyboard tray slips off occasionally. There is only minimal room for paperwork, books, etc. I find it excellent for my needs of surfing the net, paying bills, and propping my feet on while watching TV. I would rate it a 5 if there was no way to hide computer cables. A back panel that extends most the way to the floor would really have helped. I hung a towel the color of our walls behind the desk and that does on OK job of hiding cable running from the CPU to the monitor and they keyboard. Mousepad space is tight so I put mine on the keyboard tray and increased my mouse speed. Target has several other Mission style furniture items that match the desk for reasonable prices. I bought 2 smaller computer desks that have room only for a monitor for our second computer and my my computer at my office. They also have had 2 different styles of matching shelves. I bought (4) 3-tier shelf sets and (1) 4 tier shelf set. The best thing about these shelf units is that they come assembled. You simply fold out the shelves and thats it. These shelf units are amazingly sturdy. Finally I bought a desk organizer that fits onto the desk reasonably well.

Be Prepared to Rebuild This Desk
By A Customer
The desk is attractive and reasonably priced. However, I immediately noticed four serious manufacturing defects. First, there was a huge gouge (1"x2") in the keyboard facing. Second, the metal guide along the side of the keyboard tray was severely bent. Third, when I pulled opened the keyboard shelf, the face piece came off in my hands. Fourth, the keybard shelf had already split when they attached the metal guides to it. I can fix most of this, but even for this [cost, it] is unacceptable.

excellent value
By Pal
For under $100, this is a great desk. Unlike most other pieces from Target, this is made from solid wood pieces, not veneered particle board. The packaging, however, is inadequate, and damage can occur during shipping, so you may want to visit a local Target.
