It fits great in the space. The color is super rich and almost looks like a quality antique. It's good quality of it's own merit but it is not solid wood which makes sense for something that's hanging on the wall. I'm ecstatic to use this desk for my laptop stuffs and paper crafts. It feels very sturdy when the desk is down. I wouldn't sit on it but I trust that the "leg" will hold most anything else I decide to put on it. I'm worried about the veneer getting scratched so I'm being super careful right now. I don't know how long that will last.
