This desk is gorgeously sleek.  I was afraid it was going to be too large,  its 51 on both sides, but it fit perfectly. The rounded corner piece is what I love the most because I dont have to worry about it touching the wall. Do note this desk is NOT reversible. Meaning the arms are not interchangeable. It can only sit in corner as pictured.  The gold is not brassy at all, and the glass is screwed onto top and is very sturdy. Now if I could only find a chair that has gold legs,  lol!!
