The desk looks like the picture from far away but up close the quality is terrible.  The wood pattern is a sticker that was peeling in multiple places upon receipt.  Even taking great care putting it together the sticker peeled more.  Where the laminate is wrapped around the corners of each desk piece it is turning white from being stretched.  I was attracted by the low price of the desk but in my opinion it is worth spending a little more to get higher quality.
