This is a great desk- however it is much darker than the picture shows.  It’s more brown and black than gray.  But I still love it! The instructions were mostly clear.. it only took me a little over an hour to assemble. Tip: pay attention to the support metal beams - this was the only unclear area and I did not pay attention to the holes on the back for the cross support in the back!  I took the easy fix and drilled some holes in the back so I didn’t have to disassemble, worked just fine. Also very happy with the sturdiness and price.
