I got the brown desk to fit in a small basement workspace. It is super cute - I like the styling of the legs. It's a great height. The drawer fits laptop cord, pens, etc. The color brown is a true brown - not too orange or red toned. The texture is very slightly grainy which is no issue to me. If you needed the surface to be perfectly smooth, though, maybe add a mat on top. The back of this desk is finished as well - huge pro! The box it was shipped in wasn't too large but you'd likely need help carrying it up or down stairs. It came with the screws, washers and tool to put it all together - took me less than 20 minutes. **I would rate this 4.5 if I could. The only con is that its a little wobbly. For the price, it's a great option.
