The desk is great!  My husband put it together in a few hours but did say parts were a little complicated.  The color in the picture is spot on and the desk is finished on all sides so it doesn't need to be used against a wall.  Sometimes in this price point, the item can be a bit wobbly but this desk is very sturdy.  The only comment I would have is with the height.  I'm not a tall person, but I can't cross my legs under the desk without lowering my chair quite a bit.  Not a huge issue, but something to consider.  Admittedly, I did not pay attention to those dimensions when looking at this desk.  All in all, I'm very pleased with the purchase!
