Love the desk. Does take a while to get it all together. Desk is a great color and hardware is perfect gold color and really compliments each other. Only downside is that I wish the pull out drawer in the middle was an actual drawer rather than a hideaway for a keyboard. It really is a waste of space because what the desk is missing is that long skinny drawer for pens, nick nacks, etc. SInce the pull out has no sidewalls that part can't really function that way. Miss my the designer, but everything else is great.
