I ordered this in Antique Walnut. I wanted to get a desk that was solid wood so it would be stable and strong enough to hold my computer monitor. I love the color of the wood. It looks just like it does in the pictures. It was very well packed to prevent any damage. I'm used to putting things together. This was one of the simplest pieces of furniture I've assembled. The directions were super easy to understand. They even give you spare hardware. Since it is solid wood I just needed someone to help me flip it over. I love this desk. The price was reduced since I ordered it and Wayfair was happy to price match. For the money this is such a bargain. You definitely get more for your money with this piece. I highly recommend this writing desk without any reservations.
