I do like this desk -- its the perfect size for my room. The color is a hard one, because the lighting in the picture makes it look more like a walnut color, and it's definitely more of a warm brown. It's very red tinted and saturated. Thats okay, it just wasn't exactly the color I was hoping it would be. The other thing is that it doesn't quite sit level on all four of its feet. I imagine it could have been bent a little in shipping or whatnot, but I had to stick something under one of the legs so it wouldn't rock back and forth.
