Very pretty. Easy to put together. Heavy and looks durable. I'm not a huge fan of weathered looking furniture and this one bothers me just a bit because it isn't very uniform in its distressing. There is more white weathering in the back of the desk top than the front. I would prefer it to be more uniform. I figured I would be putting stuff on my desk on the back part anyway, so I don't anticipate that it will bother me for long. If it wasn't for that, i'd give it 5 stars. It looks very nice in my room.
