Aesthetically-speaking, the desk is beautiful. The top glass (which has a white bottom) is a sea glass green, which I find both beautiful and calming, and reminds me of the beach. If you'd prefer a white top, you'd have to buy one yourself (or flip it over to the white side?), as the glass IS the top of the desk and not a separate item. I gave the desk three stars because of the drawer which was 1/4" too short to be able to connect to both the left and right drawer glides: I loosened the desk frame and pushed it closer together while attaching the drawer and then re-tightened it, but the frame relaxed after ten minutes and the drawer disconnected and fell straight down on my cat. I threw the drawer out as I feel it's another accident waiting to happen. I'd expected better quality for the price, but I still enjoy the desk sans drawer.
