This desk overall is pretty and well made. BUT the description does not tell you that the front of the desk looks unfinished. This is not a desk that you would want in the center of the room with the front showing. There is a piece of plywood painted white with screws all the way around. This desk would need to have the front against a wall, not free-standing in a room where the front is showing. VERY disappointed and will need to totally rearrange the room.
