This is a great piece.  It has interesting features such as the curved legs as well as other details such as the bronze bar and bronze medallions on the legs.  It is not an ordinary looking desk that we routinely see, but something not only striking in appearance, but utilitarian as well. It was easy to assemble.  It is a bit larger than we expected, but it still fits nicely in our small formal office.  We are very pleased with this purchase.
