This desk looks just like the online pictures.  As other reviewers said, putting it together was quite time-consuming, but all pieces were well-marked, and the instructions were clear.  The necessary holes had not been drilled into one piece, but a work-around was possible.  Now that it is assembled and in place, it's beautiful--spacious work surface and two nice drawers, and it doesn't take up too much room!  A great value for the price!
