As our last kid left the home ,my husband and I started updating many rooms .First was the office and of course I wanted a new desk to make it my own .I loved the looks of this one and it didn't disappoint. Besides the fact that it is very sturdy with the metal frame it looks fantastic.The distressed wood top and two of the shelves give it just enough warmth not to look just like a wire contraption. I absolutely love it and are very happy with my purchase.
