I expected a wood finish, but it appears to be more of imitation wood appearance, easily damageable. Also, the drawers are NOT on wheels, if you pull them more than half way, they dip down and potentially fall out depending how many items you place in them. They are quite noisy to open/close without the wheels that allow for more of a glide. All in all if you are interested in the aesthetic of this desk, sure, however the quality does not necessarily justify the asking price.
