This is a very nice desk. The color is very rich looking. The desk is VERY heavy, so make sure you have someone able bodied to help get it off of the truck and into your house. There are a ton of pieces.  Set the desk up as close to where youll want it, because you wont want to move it afterwards.  It took a long time to put together (although I did it by myself when I had the time).  For the most part the directions were straight forward and easy to follow.  I was missing one machine screw, which was no problem as I had one on hand.  Some parts were not labeled (for the drawers), but if you study the diagrams you can figure out the piece youre looking for.  Some very minor issues I wish the keyboard pullout was a little wider to give the mouse a little bit more room.  I would highly recommend this desk.
