As far as appearance goes this desk is as pictured. However there are design flaws. As pictured i could not get the two criss cross pieces to fit. Tried everything. The pieces are exactly the same length. Not sure what is going on. Also, it appears the two holes weren’t drilled large enough and so the two screws pictured wouldn’t screw in all the way. ALSO this desk is super flimsy. Can’t lean elbows on it at all and i can feel the top caving in while typing on my laptop. In a pinch it’s good since a lot of options are sold out. But you could do better for the price on any other occasion.
