This is not a desk. Especially with how far it extends out. It is not deep at all. This is more of an entry style table than a desk to work on or do homework. It's something that should be hardly touched for this thing WOBBLES!! Trying to write just a "thank you" card and this thing shakes, even right up in tight  between 2 heavy bookshelves.  The drawers don't hold much either, anything taller than 2 inches is not going to fit but, it is wide. 
The colour is NOT gold. I repeat... NOT GOLD!!! It is totally ROSE GOLD!!! What is shown in the pics is not what you get. I thought "can't be that off?" OH but it IS!
Because of all of these I have given it 3 stars. It's nice looking but does not function enough as a desk for me. I will be returning it sadly b/c, I have been looking for a long time for a desk that is white with "gold" legs and has drawers that does not cost me a month's wage. :(
