This desk is a great size and I LOVE the metal. Unlike other reviews, my husband was able to assemble it in less than 30 minutes. However, the one major draw back to this desk is the grain of the wood. It is Mango wood which I had never used or seen before (look it up online - it is ugly). I first purchased this desk in the Natural finish. When it arrived, the wood looked nothing like the photos listed. Fortunately, the great service people at Wayfair sent me a replacement desk with the Chestnut stain right away. This stain is still a weird reddish color that I am not partial to. So I sanded it down and restained it to be a darker finish. This is more inline with my style AND hides they ugly grain of the Mango wood. Overall I would say the quality of the desk is pretty good, but I gave it 3 stars since I had to refinish it.
