I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and finish of the desk for the price. I love quality furniture and was a little nervous purchasing online without seeing it and reading some of the reviews. The top has the rough sawn look but it a totally finished sealed satin look.  It is  definitely two toned wood which looks perfect with my trim.  This desk goes by a couple different names if your looking online and is actually a Martin piece of furniture.  Came fully  assemble  Very well packaged. It was heavier than I thought it would be but my husband and I still carried into the house with no issues.  Happy buyer!
