I love this desk!  The wood is stained much darker than in the picture.  The desk is sturdy, assembly is easy.  
However, when it comes time to use the screws which screw the desktop to the frame, go to Home Depot and ask for the same screw only a 1/4" or 3/8 longer.     This will insure a completely flush desktop to the metal frame without any airspace. Any slight contraction in the wood due to storage or whatever, will not allow the shorter, included screws to pull the wood flush to the frame.  Not noticeable; just passing on advice.
