The item looks just like the picture. The delievery and service was quick and professional. Please advise if you are not patient at reading and re-reading instructions or good with tools please purchase the service. It took 4 hours to put the desk together with two people. Both read and re-read the instructions. A few times parts are similar you can put a hole in a piece it doesn't belong. Luckily we had no issues just took a while to do but worth it. Beautiful wood finish, nice metal bars. Recomended a protective mat for the surface to avoid damage or scratch. Amazing product I am so pleased with this purchase.
