This desk is exactly as pictured and described. My only word of caution is make sure you are okay with the depth of both the lower and upper work spaces on this desk. They are not very deep, but it works great for my setup. I put this together in less than an hour (maybe 2 hours) by myself, so assembly is not very difficult. The height adjusting works well and is not loud. There are also 3 saved setting so you can set your standing and seated height and change between with the click of a button.
