I like this only because I made it the way I like it. What I mean is, it's NOT "wood"; it's crappy particle board. Also, the "wood" part is definitely not black , its a veneer covered peice of particle board that is literally more brown/grey then it is black. I had to paint it black as soon as I got it. I also paid a lot for this so I'm a bit dissapointed. The metal part is just fine as well as the glass, its the drawer and peices below the glass that is really awful. It's really uncomfortable also because for me, the height/body shape isn't fitting. My legs can't get under the desk without pulling or pushing the drawer in and out. I kept it because I had little time to get it back before I started a work from home position and the hassle of getting a massive fitting box since ours was destroyed in shipping.
