This desk was better than I expected. The construction is quite sturdy and it was easy to assemble. The instructions were refreshingly clear for an item you have to build yourself. This is just what I was looking for, not too big, not too small. The description is a little off on the color, I had no idea what "wenge" color was, but the stock picture is accurate, it's a medium brown. Pairs very well with the other items I have in the space. Overall, this was a good deal for the price. It should last for many years!
