It is a good sturdy desk.  The color is dark gray as advertised.  The only downside was finding a chair that my legs didn't hit underneath the desk. My husband cut off 1 inch of my chair for me to be able to put my legs underneath the desk. Chair is now 18.5 inches from floor to seat from high spot of the seat .  There is 23.5 inches of clearance to the bottom of the drawers.  It would help if the lip on the drawers were not so large. The bottom lip is 1.5" and 0.5" should be sufficient to use to pull out the drawers and leave more leg clearance.
