I wanted to make sure that I left a review, because I could not find ANY reviews for this desk anywhere on the internet.
I am glad that I bought this desk. The price I paid to Wayfair was also significantly cheaper than the same desk in a brown color that multiple other vendors wanted. The desk shipped quickly. Additionally, it was very well packaged. The box was wrapped in multiple layers of bubble wrap as well as packing tape. The box was HUGE but I was able to get it into the house (I am a below-average strength female) on my own. The desk itself was boxed so that the underside of the wood faced outward, so that if there were any scratches, it would not be visible. In fact, there was a gouge in the box which resulted in a dent in the wood on the underside of what ended up being the main desk surface, but it is 100% invisible once assembled and does not effect the structural integrity of the desk, so there was no reason to worry about it. The fact that the desk was so well packaged was very important. If you buy this desk from another source, I would question their shipping methods - if this desk had been shipped just simply in the box and NOT given an additional layer of bubble wrap, I am sure that the desk would not have arrived in such great shape.
This desk is very attractive. Worth noting is that this product description calls it a "corner desk". It is actually an L-shaped desk. What I mean by this is that there is no unfinished backside that you need to worry about going against a wall. This desk is in the middle of the room I put it in, and it looks very fine from all sides!
Also, my husband put this desk together for me. It took him 3-4 hours, and he did it alone. He mentioned that the instructions were very well written, and although it has an Ikea-style dowel assembly, it came out very sturdy. Normally when he puts furniture together, I hear cursing and grumbling, but he was able to turn the television on and put this desk together without any headaches.
Also not listed here is that the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet has a metal rod on each end to hang long files from. Bonus!
Overall, I say 5 stars because it is a lovely desk and $315 was a fair price, especially with free shipping.
EDIT: I have this desk in white. I noticed that quite a few other people have made comments that they purchased this desk and it arrived in very bad shape. Notice that the "ships from" is different depending on which color desk you get. My desk shipped from Wayfair, it arrived quickly, and it was EXTREMELY well packaged. It appears that the other shipper doesn't do such a great job, but my desk arrived with every possible precaution having been taken to ensure that it arrived in great shape. It is two months later and I am still extremely pleased.
Also, let me add - if you are like me and had the great idea that you would want to use white cube-baskets from Ikea in the shelves, let me warn you: they won't fit! Too tall - just barely.
Happy shopping!

Clear instructions, but be prepared for 4 to 6 hrs to assemble
The desk is modern and the color and finish are beautiful! Everything arrived in good shape, although one piece split very slightly on install. But largely, everything was in excellent shape, and all pieces were present. At first, I was daunted by the instructions, as there is no real text and it's just pictures. But some time spent studying the pictures and laying everything out made assembly pretty straightforward. However; there are LOTS of parts, and the install took me about 6 hours. I did do it all by myself, however, and I have a messed-up shoulder so I was a little bit handicapped during the install. I would think it would take most people 4 to 5 hours by themselves, and less time with a friend's help. I read another review that said 1 to 2 hours, but I don't know how that would be possible unless you had significant assistance. Now that it's complete, I really love the way it looks. I know it's not high quality, being made of MDF and veneers, but the price was right, and it suits my needs just fine! I love it so much that I ordered the rolling file cabinet to increase storage, and also a matching console table to use as a charging station. Those haven't arrived yet, but I'm hoping they are just as pleasing.Update Jan. 2020: I had to remove a star because the file cabinet has already started failing. The railing inside the desk cabinet has bent with use and now the file cabinet drawer sticks and makes a rubbing noise. I have ordered some new parts so that I can hopefully fix the issue, but I'm worried about it happening again. I think it's important to not overload the file cabinet drawer. That's disappointing, as it means I cannot put a whole year's worth of paid bills in the drawer. I think it will be necessary to pull some out mid-year. What a pain! Also, the rolling file cabinet that came has issues: the drawers are not spaced properly and the bottom file cabinet drawer rubs against the bottom of the drawer above. The console table arrived a mess, with veneers that look like they had been scraped all around. So I am waiting for a replacement. I do think the whole set is very attractive, and I guess for the price, what can I expect? I still like the set, but wish it didn't have these issues.
