I ordered the golden walnut but looked blonde in the photo, not gold.  It is very gold and very shiny.  It works ok with my decor  and I love the style so I am going to keep it.  Returning furniture is aways a hassle I don't like to take on.  I would have preferred blonde.  The desk arrived on time, was easy to assemble, 60" was the perfect size, love the style with the 3 drawers and is definately a quality piece of furniture.
