Drawers. The drawers on higher quality desks will use sturdy metal suspension rollers, and have a smooth feel. They will also slide all the way out, without dropping to the floor, to allow the user to fill each drawer to full capacity. Even if the drawers are full, they should be easy to slide open and shut without jamming.
Wooden desk drawers, in particular, should be constructed with dovetailed, or interlocking, seams instead of stapled or glued seams. The bottom of the drawers should be either heavy plywood or a wood veneer instead of melamine or particleboard. Dovetailed drawers made of wood are the most durable kind, and their quality is apparent even after many years of use.
With metal desks, it is important to note that the doors shut all the way. If the metal of the desk has been incorrectly set you will see a gap or space between the drawer and the desk, and this could indicate that the desk is of poor quality.
