The desk is pretty and looks like the picture. It was described by some as a small desk, but it is probably an average size. It is hard to put together because the instructions could be much clearer. It would help if they provided larger pictures of the drawer glides because there are several different glides. All of the pieces were not marked, and one of the circular locks was a different size. We had to drill a new set of holes for one of the glides just slightly above the predrilled ones to make the file drawer open and close correctly.
