This product is not as advertised.  Without a blotter, it's not a writing desk.  The desk top is nothing like the picture.  It is rough with grooves.  The "wood" looks and feels like plastic.  The color is unnatural and cheap looking. The desk is sturdy that's the reason for the 2 stars) but was otherwise a very disappointing purchase.  If it weren't so difficult to return (repacking a 107 pound box and taking it to a FedEx office myself), I would have returned it.  I've bought chairs with good results from Wayfair, but this will make me reconsider any more sizable pieces of furniture.
