I like my new writing desk but I don't love it. The image on the product page is wildly different from the real finish color. I was hoping for a more blonde wood color but it's a much darker stain. That's my only complaint. As a result it blends with my wood-paneled walls rather than standing in contrast to them. I can live with it. The desk is sturdy and very stable, which more than looks is what I needed.  Pros: Easy assembly and very sturdyCons: Color doesn't even come close to matching the image on the product page.
