The desk is as it looks in the pictures. I had two 27" monitors I needed space for and came from an L shaped desk only 23" deep. I wanted something wide enough to hold the monitors with speakers on the sides and deep enough to hold the keyboard without being right up on the monitors. Mission accomplished! A little pricey for the quality maybe (can't really tell if it's real wood or not but it's heavy enough to be real, I suppose). Had a small dent in one of the legs but not something I would return the product for. I just positioned it to be towards the wall. Otherwise, love it.
