I love my desk.  It is beautiful and perfect for the coastal look I was going for.  It matches my new driftwood bamboo roman shades perfectly.  It had many many pieces that took my husband quite a while to put together, and it was very heavy.  The only thing I was disappointed in was that the wooden top, is not actually wood, rather a sheet of laminate laid over what seems like a piece of pressboard.  It is still beautiful though.
