This desk is all what I was hoping for. Made out of solid wood (not particle board), light natural wood color with touch of sheen on the surface. Legs are sturdy and easy to assemble (just screw it to the base, so tools needed). Drawers are specious considering size of the desk and glide fairly smoothly (touch of grease should help it if needed). I had a hard time finding a solid wood desk under 40” wide but this desk is perfect and so stylish. Highly recommend it, looks very elegant.
