The desk is exactly how advertised and it's a beautiful piece. I would definely give 5stars for the piece. However, the quality of the wood is fragil and as the transportation was not handled as it should, it was easily damaged during the shipping process. The outside of the box had "fragile" on it but you can see a mark of a boot step on it. It would be too much work for me to return so I decided to leave with it. But for almost $200, I would expect that the items were handled with way much more case and that the piece would be flawess.
