I bought the white color. The desk arrived cracked so they shipped me a brand new one asap. It's beautiful in the space and very functional in a space-saving way. My husband put it together, so I can't speak to that; I think it took him a bit of time. It looks very classy and calming. Great look for the price. I love that you can put the cabinet on either side to suit your needs. I would purchase again, especially if I don't have to assemble myself.
