Would recommend to friend. I use this desk for personal office and crafting. I like the slide out for the key board, it's big enough to put my laptop on and has the wrist rest. It doesn't have a small drawer for pen and pencils. Thought about ordering same desk with drawers on both sides but I don't have enough room for that desk. This is best for space I have. Very Sturdy. Like others have said take your time putting it together, screws and boards very similar but not exact, and it will serve you well. If you can put it together in the room you want it in do so, it is heavy. There are how to videos, I did not need to use them.

Well what can you really say about compressed sawdust ? Saw the display in Staples and figured I would take a chance.Ill fitting and flimsy for the money with a THIN foil finish that will scar easily and cannot be retouched with stains as it is not wood. Most of the afternoon spent on the project, it still does not line up properly after all the twiking recomended, and I'm pretty handy with wood (?) furinture products. Spend the xtra money on a real wood product or buy a used piece of real furniture. I expect that the humidity and moisture will eventually just lock up all the particle board moving parts. Don't care for Sauder Product line, will not purchase from them it the future.
Comments about Sauder® Arbor Gate Desk, Coach Cherry:
Wasn't the worst that I have put together, but had it's moments. Definitely cannot slide it on the carpet, but that is probably because I did not get it tightened correctly. Otherwise works and is so much better than what I was using previously.
Comments about Sauder® Arbor Gate Desk, Coach Cherry:
Looks nice, but thats it. Hard to put together, very very heavy. Pullout drawer for the keyboard is very cumbersome on your hands, I had to remove the front lip to type.
No, this desk will not be able to assemble with the drawers on the right. I would suggest taking a look at item 769353 as it is similar with the right side drawers.

Q:
What is the Digital Dock? Is it built in to the desk?
It's a Storage compartment at the back and top of the desk that flips up, where all the electrical cords can be concealed. Has openings to keyboard area and under desk.

This is made of an environmentally friendly material called "engineered wood," a combination of high quality hard wood and soft wood materials which are residuals of other lumber processes. These materials are bonded together with a synthetic resin, then applied to high heat and pressure. The result is dense, strong panels which are then laminated and cut into pieces.
