Legs are bronze, not gold. One corner is bit dented and a chipped wood inside drawer. I kept it though as easy to assemble as it came in 4 pieces with good instructions. One of the screws for the left leg didn’t align so had to use a different one. Heavy top so hard to put back on the box if you want to return. Wayfair should enforce high quality standards to China manufacturers. Frustrating to have item ship to you and to return it if screws are not aligning.  Overall desk is good enough for now.
