I've had this desk for several months now, and it's just what I expected.  I have it in black, and really like it for the space it's used for in my office/den.  It looks modern and open and has worn well.  Easy to clean and take care of.  A tiny bit of a challenge to put together, but no big deal really.  I wish the main part was a tad bit wider so I had more room for my hands in front of my keyboard/monitor, but I do use a stand for my monitor that is bigger than I probably need.   All in all, I really like the look and functionality of this desk.  I use black baskets on it for storage, and it works well.  Lots of space on the shelves, so I have things like plants, candles, photos, and decorative items.  I would buy it again.
