I love the size and look of this desk. The wood is slightly darker than in the pictures, but not enough to be a problem. The only issue I'm having is the keyboard tray being very rough to open/close. Makes the product seem cheap when one part of the tray is sticking out a little further than the other. I would say it's my error, but I hired a member of their staff to come out and build it, so I'm assuming it's the desk itself.
